China does a 'Googley'

Google has agreed to censor the websites on its search engines - which the Chinese government considers sensitive - so that they can speed up the service. So if the Chinese people want to search about which their Government thinks sensitive they will get a message saying “the access to this website is restricted”. It is not surprising to know the lengths Beijing would go to prevent its own people from learning about Taiwanese independence, democratic reforms or any such issues concerning freedom in conflict with communism. It is another of those authoritarian efforts to quell the spirit of freedom and right to choose. By giving into Chinese demands the company will share a dubious honor with other major firms like Yahoo and Microsoft who have been censoring in compliance with Beijing’s whim. What the Government of China and Google do not understand is that no regime however powerful can never suppress truth and what is in public domain. What is the rational of this act when they aren’t preventing their people from moving in and out of the country? Do they really think that the people of China would not come across those “sensitive issues” unless they find a way to blind them, block their mind and then stop the subsequent word of mouth?
