Google and Chinese censorship


Google has finally had enough of the business environment imposed on it by Chinese authorities: "Google seeks to draw a line in the sand."

James Fallows, a longtime China correspondent who now writes for The Atlantic, has an interesting post discussing the significance of this development: "The google news: China enters its Bush-Cheney era." Fallows' decidedly dark conclusions are particularly notable because he is usually a very moderate and optimistic American voice about China.
