The average Chinese, much like any (average) person, does'nt use the Internet to find out about democracy, human rights or what the Dalai Lama is up to. They go to the Internet to check e-mail, looking for the news, looking for Love, or (if youre me) stalk ex-girlfriends... Besides, this is a move by Google just so that they could provide better serive to their Chinese users. They had to comply with the Chinese rules just so they could localise their hosts (servers) in mainland China. People can still hit Google's servers anywhere else in the world (www.google.com) and they will get uncensored information. As for your Ford rebutal. Just like Ford has to get used to doing business in the countries where people drive on the left, so does google; where access to information is a little more state-controled. Like I said - they are the rules of the land. BTW - Yahoo and MSN did the same thing. Were they in the news like this? No. Google gets in trouble just because its Google. Its a double standard that, frankly, is dangerous. People are blowing this way out of propotion.

it looks like google’s making china a step children aside from another countries that people can get more informations that chinese people can, it looks like parents who make one biological daughter as a step daughter while another daughters and sons get more than she does!

if it’s about censoring sex or illegal materials i should be agree as it should be done in few countries, people are mostly afraid that their daughters and sons surf such sites when they’re still underages.
