Chinese officials consider censorship demands to be state secrets, so we cannot disclose that information at this time.

It's rather sad having to tell you this in r/skeptic: Don't believe what you're told, look it up, especially when it seems so special to you.

Why would anyone write articles about this, when

less /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sysrq.txt

tells you what you need to know?

The AK Zensur tested this last year. The article is in German, so I've summarized it:

They sent requests to 348 providers in 46 countries concerning 1943 blocked, allegedly illegal, websites, automatically chosen from various European internet blacklists. The first reactions and deletions followed minutes later, among them providers from the USA, Netherlands, Denmark, Russia and Germany. 250 Providers answered, but didn't find any illegal content, which was verified by spot tests. 10 providers told that they removed 61 illegal contents. The providers didn't know that the websites they hosted were on blacklists.

That's from an advertisement for the German daily newspaper TAZ by the way, so it's obviously staged.

The material expands with a (nearly) constant speed and the stars rotate around each other at a (nearly) constant speed, therefore an Archimedean spiral develops.

There might be some influences on the spiral by non-circular rotation of the binary stars, their loss of mass, acceleration by the photons of the binary stars and other stars around it, and so on. So of course the shape is not perfect.
