Censorship does happened in China. It is mostly done for stability reason. China is a big and populous country, stability is essential for the prosperity of the nation. And for Chinese, the prosperity for the nation is more important than winning western favor or ideological brownie point.
Civil right issue has long been a contention point between China and the west, Chinese obviously has different idea on the issues. The main difference being that Chinese do not believe in absolute idea (as in civil right of individual taking priority at all time) and generally consider the overall picture and adjust accordingly and therefore Chinese tend to take the goods of the whole as having priority over an individual when they are in conflict.
You might not agree with the Chinese government approach, but there is no denying that the Chinese government been doing a good job and getting better.
And that is what really matter. In the past century, Chinese has went through an emotional ideological roll-coaster ride. At the end of the day, it is food on the table that is real. Black cat, white cat, it is the cat that can catch the mice that is real.
