China Hits Back At Google 432
sopssa writes "After Google yesterday started redirecting google.cn users to their uncensored Hong Kong-based 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."

Pull out?
No need, China baby. You see, you can't get in trouble the first you do it; the seed of democracy won't be planted the first time. After the first time, we'll have to pull out. That is unless we do it standing up.

Google watches literally EVERYTHING you do. Google has used its dominance to attack and undermine Apple, and has tried to kill off the iPhone (for example). I think it is a good thing that China is not allowing these shenanigans to continue and are being brave enough to stand up to the most evil company in the world.

They've already built their great firewall - why is that not working fine enough?
Apparently the Great Firewall of China is as effective at keeping out Google as the Great Wall of China is at keeping out Mongolians.
ZING!

How fucking dare anyone out there make fun of China after all it has been through!
It lost its great leader, it went through civil war. It had two fuckin splitters.
Tibet turned out to be an independent nation, a source of international conflict, and now China's going through a custody battle. All you people care about is.. readers and making money off of it.
China is a COUNTRY. What you don’t realize is that China is making you all this money and all you do is write a bunch of crap about it.
It hasn’t performed in the free market in years. Its song is called “March of the Volunteers” for a reason because all you people want is MORE! MORE-MORE, MORE: MORE!
LEAVE IT ALONE! You are lucky it even sold goods to you BASTARDS! LEAVE CHINA ALONE!..Please.

Depends on how you count. If you count total body mass, the number might be the other way around...

not directly. But thanks to the fact that in a free market, a worker can choose to work where he or she wants, guess what happens? the employers have to care about their employees, or else they'll leave. Good lord, look at all the people on slashdot, benefiting from technology, one of the places where capitalism has been allowed to thrive. What do we bitch about? meetings, coffee not being warm? booo fucking hoo.
Or let's look at hong kong. a place where government did very little. in 50 years, less than a life time, they went from being third world, to being among the richest.
So in reality, they care about the workers, because they want the most of the workers.

I bought a camping knife as a present from Buck Knives, a "Made in the USA" company last year. Despite the advertising claims, the knife came stamped "Made in China."
They meant that the box it came in was made in the USA...
