BBC wrote: Leading internet company Google has said it will censor its search services in China in order to gain greater access to China's fast-growing market.
Google has offered a Chinese-language version of its search engine for years but users have been frustrated by government blocks on the site.

China is, as usual censoring negative media.

I wonder what sites will be blocked?

Anything:
- Tibet
- Religion
- Falun Gong
- Pro-Japanese
- Pro-Independent-Taiwan

:lol: I've got nothing to add to that. :tu:

But Google is really going over the line with the Feds, for all I know... isn't it? :?

What is the Dalai Llama doing these days besides writing books on pro-Tibetan independence? Living in exile so that he may someday return to stage a rebellion? Doesn't sound very spiritual to me.
