Wikipedia vs. China's censors

The Observer interviewed Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, on the Chinese censorship on Wikipedia (see Wikipedia defies China's censors). Wales told The Observer: “We're really unclear why we would be [banned] … We have internal rules about neutrality and deleting personal attacks and things like this. We're far from being a haven for dissidents or a protest site.”

Obviously there is something Mr. Wales (and most Americans) don't understand: The Chinese government sometimes is the one violates neutrality or attacks individuals. How can Wales expect the Chinese government accepting the rules of Wikipedia?
