The site of the International Movement:
PPI
And you can choose a Party with whom you can collaborate among the ones listed in the menu at your right. If you're still interested, the site of the Spanish Pirate Party is:
Partido Pirata Español - Portada
Everyone accepts ideas and collaboration from any person, so even if there is no PP in your country, you would still be welcome in forums and e-mail lists.

So I guess China would be off then because they don't have free restrained internet. Is is good or bad that China restricts and sensors the internet? What could be done to have China remove the censoring? What people could we influence? What would it take to influence those people What reasons would we give them to want to change this?

Difficult question, yet important... Any person with enough computer skills can dodge a firewall. Problem is not being caught. But freeing their connexion and tumbling the great firewall of China wouldn't be all. I don't think all 1.200 Chinese have an internet connection and fluent English. If we want to help them, we should start closing our markets to Chinese products made by almost-slaves. If Chinese are going to sell stuff to me, I don't want them to be slaves. It is logical that they start earning little money, but they shouldn't work more than 60 hours a week without rests on Sundays.
So, on the point you are mentioning, for example... We, as consumers of the first world, should force our governments to stop imports made by slaves or mistreated workers. If suddenly, all Chinese workers work half of their days with one free a week, instead of ten hours seven days a week, they themselves will look for something to do, learn or achieve in their spare time. They cannot raise their consciousness level much with work weeks between 60 and 80 hours.
That, not only applies to China. It also applies to the rest of the world. To teach people about the levels of consciousness, they must grasp abstract understanding. That requires fluent reading skills in most people. People don't go to school if they don't have anything to eat...
See? First, food and basic needs for everyone. Then some labor justice, so they have free time. And then, they will start jumping the Great Firewall on their own...
No one said it would be easy
