In China, students are turning to anti-censorship software to find information they're usually not able to access under the Chinese regime's censorship system.<br /><br />College education is a time for learning. But in China, most students are restricted in what they're allowed to know under the Chinese regime's censorship system.

If you want to know things, you go to overseas websites to find out. It's good to know more things."<br /><br />Democracy activist Chen Xi says students want access to reliable information.<br /><br />[Chen Xi, Chinese Democracy Activist]:<br />"They are looking for the truth, to see a more truthful world.
