So you force your citizens to install a compromised SSL cert and can now impersonate any website. Now what? If you want to monitor someone don't you have to proxy all their traffic? Is that even feasible on a country wide scale? Because you can't do it intermittently since a user can just check which cert the key is signed with to tell you whether you're currently being monitored.

and that is one part of what the gfw does.
google 'how does the gfw work' if you want a broad overview. there was a really in-depth explanation on HN not that long ago. sadly, i'm unable to find it at the moment.

I would think it's not only feasible, but also more simple than what the Great Firewall already does.
You could probably do it on on 0.1% of the NSA's yearly budget. (Which, after some Googling, turns out to be 10M USD. That's even more than I expected.)
