Chinese here, I agree that it is very easy to have puns in Chinese. But I don't think Chinese find puns very humorous in general (probably it is too easy?), is it more often used to make blessing or satirical phrases.

Can anyone comment on the suggestion in the article that in China puns may be used to evade censorship.
