In my experience, Chinese wifi operates the same as in most other countries. Either no password, or the password is written on the menu or freely offered when asked for.
Chinese censorship is another issue, of course. But there's no need to post blatant lies about stuff you seemingly have no experience about.
How long ago was your experience? IIRC, they've been cracking down on this in more recent times. I guess it's possible that these crack-downs are temporary or regional though.

Ah, just like China where you need to hand over identification before using the internet at a cafe. You know, so you can be a "good citizen".

Two weeks ago. The situation seemed the same in a couple of cities. There were no restrictions at any shop or cafe that I came across.
WIFI access at Beijing airport did require a passport, though.
I mean cafes where you rent computers, not open WiFi.
