The last three paragraphs gave me chills. If Google follows thru and exits China I really, really hope it will be the beginning of an exodus of those companies that support the Golden Shield Project. I'm looking at you Cisco - http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=jhs&q=%22Great+Wall+of+China%22+Cisco&aq=f&oq=&aqi= http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=f... I am sure we will all be watching closely over the next few weeks, but kudos are due to Google already.

Cisco has nothing to do with current implementation of GFW system, Golden Shield and GFW are two completely different systems. The wikipedia entry of GFW seems to be maintained by gov agents to create a delusion of a false target. see: http://freemorenews.com/2009/08/30/burn-after-reading-gfw/ http://freemorenews.com/2009/08/30/burn-after-reading-gfw/ It's in Chinese, but it's pretty accurate. This article created shock within the gov, China's intelligence department almost turned the GFW department upside down for TFA
