> Censorship decisions are arbitrary, opaque, and inconsistent, due to weak rule of law in China’s political system and because so many individuals and processes are involved. Regulations issued by government and CCP agencies establish censorship guidelines. The impact of content restrictions may vary depending on factors like timing, technology, and geographic region. ISPs reportedly install filtering devices differently, including in the internet backbone or even in provincial-level internal networks.99 Lists of prohibited websites and sweeping censorship directives are closely held secrets, but are periodically leaked. There are no formal avenues for appeal and they cannot be challenged in the courts. Criticism of censorship is itself censored.100 There is also no transparency surrounding private companies’ day-to-day censorship in China, and users similarly lack avenues for appeal.

You aren't given a bunch of laws to follow when you do business in China, instead you are just told "don't make us angry." In a rule by law rather than rule of law country, what else do you expect?
