There was an old Soviet joke. American and Soviet guys met at a bar and started talking about each other's countries. American said, "I have a freedom of speech, I can stand in front of the White House and yell "Reagan is an idiot", and nobody will do anything to me". And the soviet guy answered "well, I too have the same freedoms, I absolutely can stand on the Red Square and yell "Reagan is an idiot".

Back to your point, Wikipedia is blocked in China

One is known by the citizens the other isn't.

Chinese citizens can't just Google Kent State or MOVE or Waco or Ruby Ridge or Rodney King or anything like this.

Big big big difference
