Google Says No More Cens*rship!
Looks like a battle is heating up between Google and China. In response to a cyber attack, which led to the compromise of Chinese dissidents’ gmail accounts, Google is no longer censoring their search engine on Google.cn and is considering leaving China altogether. FYI, Chinese Internet users largely ignore Google, preferring to use homegrown Baidu, still this is very interesting news that I will be following closely from inside the Great Firewall.

Google as well as several other transnational structures hardly lost a lot during the crisis. But what about Chinese leadership, for whom their own country and people make up the main asset, providing a decent place in the world? Maybe the Google leadership has the grounds to believe that the time when Chinese authorities may sacrifice part of their informational sovereignty has come?
