erm, Let's not get too carried away about Phorm, comparing it to Tianamen Square, shall we?

If we want to be factual, the Chinese don't have to worry about Phorm - they already have much worse done by the Government opennet
"Cybercafés, which provide an important source of access to the Internet for many Chinese, are required by law to track Internet usage by customers and to keep correlated information on file for 60 days. "

and this link
"China is the only country in the world to have tens of thousands of cyber-censors and cyber-police. They have had special sections in every local Public Security Bureau for the past few years. Although their activities are a wellkept state secret, this report reveals their impressive ability to purge the Internet of news and information that embarrass the government. The cyber-police have been involved in the arrest of several hundred Internet users and cyber-dissidents in the past 10 years"

Good to hear these sections of the law are being repealed, though.
