Well, they've heard people can use a VPN to bypass the current blocking (which is done by the ISP, usually through the DNS server) so they are looking for alternatives. It's only natural.
As far as I know, all governments block websites. What would be more interesting is comparing which one sensors the most.
edit: to be clear, what I mean is: the method used by governments to censor the web is not as important as what is being censored. And I wish there was a simple way to monitor what is censored by each state.
I'm guessing China? Not sure North Korea counts
Oh, I wouldn't even count China, NK and Russia. They block so many websites they are in their own category.
