Google is not going to de-censor search results in China. China doesn't back down from the private sector and Google knows that the sheer volume of people in China will result in positive cash flow regardless of the results censorships. They have no financial motivation to face up to the empire and as buzz dies down they'll have little political/social threat either.

- est 17y agoIt's funny because all westerners are trying to unit test google.cn censorship using a keyword Chinese never use :) I don't want to start a offtopic thread on HN, but just FYI: 1. Tian an men is with a lot of other meanings 2. The 'tianamnen massacre' known to the west has different names or referrals in China, the most common phrase is '1989 student movement' 3. The actual massacre didn't happen in Tiananmen, but in the city outer borders when the army are try to enter the city and encounters the road blocks setup by citizens and students.
