dem0cr@cy or democracy?

avoid the GFW? i doubt i find many bloggers prefer the use of dem0cr@cy when it's related with china. is it necessary to replace "o" with "0" and replace "a" with "@" in order to avoid the GFW? i doubt it.

here is what i found with baidu search for "democracy in china":

Democracy in China: feasible or not?

Glutter(.org): Awaiting a Democratic HK

Grassroots Democracy Taking Roots in Rural China ...

China to Pursue Democracy in SOEs

Is Super Girl a Force for Democracy?

here is what i found with google search for "民主" (the chinese equivalent for democracy):

欢迎光临中国民主建国会!

民主进步党[ 繁体 ]

民主[ 繁体 ]

- 递进民主

※中国民主促进会※

香港民主之声[ 繁体 ]

if this is not convincing enough, let's take a look at xinhua forum, the favorite place

premier Wen often visit:in one article titled "wil it become democratic if the secretary

office is cancled?", there are six "democracy".well, i don't see why dem0cr@cy 

becomes such a label that must be attached to china every time.
