While the effects of government censorship are widely explored in the literature, most works on government censorship have assumed a nature intention for citizens to seek freedom of speech in authoritarian regimes. However, citizens in authoritarian regimes may actually support government censorship due to various reasons. In this study, I explore the potential reasons of citizen's support towards government censorship in China among Chinese nationals both domestic and abroad. Also, I will investigate individual's willingness to self-censor and the types of censorship one would likely to give consent to. Adopting a mixed methodology design consisting of an online survey experiment, a cross-national online survey and a semi-structured qualitative interview, I examine the following factors of interest: (1) personal experience of government censorship, (2) personal pursuit of democracy as an ideal form of government, and (3) the political environment experienced by individuals.
