If the Western countries decide to go full China and censor the Internet, how hard to still access?

As a newb to these things im just wondering in lay terms how easy it is to circumnavigate government censorship efforts?

Is the Chinese censorship effective?or is the vast majority getting around the censorship there?

As long as there will be server locations outside of the censored countries, you will be able to bypass the censorship. While some protocols might become blocked with time, there will always be a workaround for the blockades or a new protocol will come.

Short answer: No.

The same applies for Russia and similar countries.

Unless there’s a world war 3 and by somehow the U.S.A. Disappears from existence, and a new world order becomes the law of the land!!!

There’s no way the western hemisphere would ever be like china!!!

Capital gains would 1st go out the window for freedoms to be restricted!!! And even then, the human species by nature is defiant!!! And would resist control!!!

World war 4!!!

Besides, VPN serves a greater good than just circumventing fees.

Capitalism simply wouldn’t allow it.

Well, it is annoying.

Mobile operators in Russia now learned how to block outgoing VPN connections with DPI by protocols, specifically OpenVPN and Wireguard are blocked. There are, of course, proxies and VPNs that have protections and camouflaging against DPI, or using multiple hops, but it turns into a cat and mouse race.

Does EU count as “Western hemisphere”?

There is a method that China/Russia cannot block.

Utopia P2P works like a charm and cause headaches for the leaders of China and Russia.

Maybe its good, but sounds a bit buzzwordy.

There are many other options as well. Like Cisco AnyConnect which can pretend to be a normal SSL website, with indistinguishable traffic.

For now even SSH tunnels work.

WH and OVPN are just easy to fingerprint.
