China censorship of Google

Moving along from poisoned toys, China is now blocking some search results on the Chinese version of Google.

SAN FRANCISCO/BEIJING (Reuters) – Google's threat to quit China over censorship and hacking intensified Sino-U.S. frictions on Wednesday as Washington said it had serious concerns and demanded an explanation from Beijing.

China has not made any significant comment since Google, the world's top search engine, said it will not abide by censorship and may shut its Chinese-language google.cn website because of attacks from China on human rights activists using its Gmail service and on dozens of companies, including Adobe Systems.

None of that really surprises me. It is in keeping with their form of authoriatarian government. I don't really think they care whether or not Google is part of their internet or not.
