Do the majority of people living in China know about / care about censorship? Curious if information was being censored how you'd even know.

Of course. It's condescending to think otherwise, you can't pretend youtube or twitter doesn't exist (especially with a substantial portion who use VPN to evade censorship anyways), it's just accepted as a fact of life.

Really? China's a huge country with huge differences in income and education. I wouldn't be surprised at all if there are some people who aren't aware of the censorship or others even outside of the government that feel like it's a good policy. Mainly curious how small that population is.

Also: how much of that opinion is an actually informed one, versus an opinion shaped by censorship itself?

That was the moral of The Man in the High Castle when it was written -- that every totalitarian state's wet dream is that a new generation can be enculturated to not believe alternatives are possible.
