Very very well illistrated donnie.

Its a shame that 1.3 billion live in a place were your right to know the truth is restricted.

For me it all seems so simple, if they dont allow true reporting to take place, they leave themselves open to hearsay, and that can cause as much, if not more damage than the truth.

Have you tried it with other sensitive topics, such as tibet or taiwan?

Might be interesting, just to see how paranoid and secular the government really is.

However, I think there is hope. The Great chinese firewall seems to have trouble with this site

I think that Google really let their scruples (if they have any) slip when they allow the Chinese Government to dictate what results they can show.

The internet is supposed to be somewhere you can search and find out about anything, anytime with no restrictions.

Whatever next for the Google Gods?
