- angelbob 17y agoWow. That's a good point.
- sgk284 17y agoYou'll find that not a single Chinese media/news source mentions the attacks. Most Chinese people don't even know they happened, the only side of the story they are aware of is that "Google doesn't want to follow our laws." The other funny thing is that when censorship is mentioned, everywhere I've seen it elaborated on in Chinese media simply says something to the effect of "Without the Chinese government stepping in, Google returned too much pornography with search results." and never dares to imply that the Chinese government is hiding information or manipulating what they are allowed to know. It's really unfortunate... many Chinese have too much blind faith in their government (not that it's their fault, everything about the culture encourages it).
