China Hits Back At Google

Post by Sabre »

Article
After Google yesterday started redirecting google.cn users to their uncensored Hong Kong-tbased google.com.hk servers, the Chinese government has now hit back at Google by restricting access to Google's Hong Kong servers. 'On Tuesday mainland China users could not see uncensored Hong Kong-based content after the government either disabled certain searches or blocked links to results.' China Mobile, the largest wireless carrier in the country, has also been approached by the Chinese government to cancel a contract with Google about having google.cn on their mobile home page for search. China Unicom, the second largest carrier in China, has also either postponed or killed the launch of Android-based mobile phones in the country
Ya, didn't see this happening.... If we start restricting what IP they can copy, and restrict their Internet connectivity... I really wonder how long the red state will live before we start seeing issues...

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

they can build their own everything... it could very well force many countries into very uncomfortable (financial) places.

Edited for accuracy.

Sadly, thew own 24.3% of our national debt... and they made that money off of us by selling the products that we designed for cheaper than we could make them here. They are actually not good engineers, just good copiers (as Zak pointed out). If we pulled out half our business from them and produced stuff ourselves, we'd be in a much better position... and they would have come up with some answers for their people on their socialist ways.
