		<description>To marcg611,

There is no need to capitalize your nonsense. Do you have problems reading or is it your insecurity? Also please use a decent spelling checker. Your statements are almost unintelligible and at best gibberish. I guess it reflects the faulty wiring in your underused cerebral cortex.  

As for the supposed merits of the form of freedom Google will bring, I think the author of the article made a very valid point &quot;Know your market.&quot;. I might add also &quot;Know your limit.&quot;. In this sense, Google has badly miscalculated. China, including the Chinese people, has a long history of being dominated to the point of being almost colonized by imperialistic Western ambitions. Of course then, the West wanted to &#039;civilize&#039; China while taking away their effective sovereignty. Hence, the Chinese are particularly concerned about preserving sovereignty. Every country has that privilege of ensuring that. Even the US! Just try wearing an Osama Bin Laden T-shirt into the US airport or airline, or disseminating the latest Fatwa issued by the Al Qaida on American cyberspace.

Just read your own words:

&quot;F CHINA! THEY ENSLAVE THEY’RE PEOPLE TO NOT BE ALLOWED ANY UNDERSTANDING OR FREE SPEECH WITH INFOMATION FROM GOOGLE, ITS LIKE THEY’RE BEING KEPT IN THE F’ING TWILIGHT ZONE TO SELF PROTECT CHINA FROM BEING A TRUE FREE MARKEONE DAY IF WE HOLD TO OUR GUNS CHINA WILL CRUMBLE AS A GOVERNMENT THE WAY THEY OUR GOING&quot;

They sure sound humble and intelligent with the best of intentions!

This sovereignty is to prevent self righteous &#039;bozos&#039; who wish to impose their wholesale western brand of vision on how to &#039;improve&#039; China. Still remember the wonderful outcome of perestroika in Russia aggressively promoted by the West, when the Mafia took over most of the economy. This is to prevent those unthinking idealists who have no clue about the challenges of governing China taking into consideration the complex diversity, culture, socioeconomic and historical background. 

China has her share of many doomsayers, almost all with some warped sense of fanatical democratic zeal, as if unbridled freedom without responsibility is the panacea to all of China&#039;s problems. Well China has thrived quite nicely particularly in this economic crisis. Like what Buffet has said &quot;Only when the tide goes out do you discover who&#039;s been swimming naked!&quot;.</description>

		<description>This is the biggest crock of propaganda ever spewed out of the White House. Google was a major contributor to the Obama campaign. China has the largest Internet population in the world. The *supposed* attack on Google was not sophisticated, if there was one at all which most with half a brain in the US understand. The CIA, SS, APNIC &amp; CERT were all well aware of the so called port scans and &quot;alleged&quot; hacks supposedly originating from &quot;China&quot; and have been so for years, and have done nothing - the block of IP addresses they supposedly came from have contact information that is invalid, and could have easily been set up by anyone, anywhere.  APNIC is well aware the IP address is registered with invalid information (FYI, APNIC is in Australia).  It is, after all, good for the US economy to sell security software and keep whatever software developers that are left here in the US in work. And why should China worry about it - they do, after all, own 51% of Symantec.  The first report of these hacks and scans came from a supposed &quot;Congressional Aide&quot; on some hokey political site over a year ago. This is nothing new. China has the world&#039;s largest Internet population in the world, and Google stands to lose astronomical amounts of potential revenue with porn being their biggest money generating source. Google forgets China is their *customer* and regardless of what WE want and like, it is China&#039;s choice what *they* want and like, and certainly not Hillary Clinton&#039;s.   And frankly, China should not and does not care, and will hopefully take it for the stupidity it really is, since there has been NO substantiation to Google&#039;s claim - no details, no information except to say it happened.  C&#039;mon now.

Our US Internet infrastructure security is a joke here, in fact if one calls the White House and asks to speak with the &quot;Cyber Czar&quot; office, they will tell you they don&#039;t even know what a cyber czar is. Any offending IP block that&#039;s been scanning ports worldwide can be easily blocked, but have not been.  No need to read this whole list - just look at hu is Number One and scroll down to the very bottom to see who is last:  

https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2187rank.html 

And we&#039;re telling the rest of the world how to live?


Google, Microsoft and Yahoo all paid the Obama campaign a great deal of money, and now they want their returns. And Microsoft even has their hand out for stimulus monies and *took it* so they could build a building to building bridge for their employees for starters - with *taxpayers* money.   This Obama administration has been bought and paid for to do Google&#039;s marketing. Pathetic, indeed. And now the Google sissies are hiding behind Nanny Clinton&#039;s skirts like spoiled toddlers who want Mommy to fight their playground battles. The biggest joke of all is she is! 

Do understand there are many American citizens that realize Clinton&#039;s bizarre speech for what it is - a payback to Google, Microsoft and Yahoo for the large campaign contributions, pimping them out like a back alley hooker.

Hillary Clinton hosted a Secretary of State dinner for Google not too long ago, spending tons of mental energy and taxpayers&#039; non-existent money on who&#039;s allowed to see what, where and when online, when we&#039;ve got a neighboring Nation experiencing the worst natural disaster in history shows the true colors of our current US leaders and what they are focusing on.  No respect for the people and lives lost in Haiti, to stand up in the middle of it all with the &quot;Clinton Doctrine&quot; in the middle of that nightmare.

Now, I like this response from Channel News Asia: 

&quot;thats why she said internet cannot be censored lor.
otherwise how to catch cat eating fish secretly?
she was speaking from experience mah.&quot;</description>

		<description>Google&#039;s defiance of China&#039;s censorship mandate illustrates the power of corporate social responsibility initiatives to influence and reshape the repressive policies of authoritarian regimes. Secretary Clinton’s recent remarks about the” information curtain” dividing the world, reminded me of the apartheid era where much greater injustice and unspeakable acts against humanity were challenged and ultimately overcome through the use of corporate codes of conduct. 

Given the success of codes of conduct in ending apartheid, we should look at applying the same principles to lift the information curtain China and in other repressive countries.

		<description>I agree with Samuel Jackson. China has 5000 years of history. Democracy is overrated. Who cares if information is not free? Who cares if the government exploit the common people? It has always been like that. So what if Chinese people cannot criticize the communist party of push for democracy? So what if the government in China can put you in jail without Western style legal processes? Just don&#039;t question those in power and you will be fine. Besides, Chinese people can&#039;t handle democracy, even though they have practiced this civilization thing for 5000 years. Right?</description>

		<description>I am writing in response to your recent article on Google&#039;s latest spat with the Chinese Government.

As a former Google China staff, I strongly suggest someone at your bureau to conduct an interview with the former president of Google China, Kaifu Lee.

The question that needs to be pose should be: HOW MUCH DOES HE KNOWS ABOUT SUCH PLANNED DEPARTURE WHEN HE &#039;RESIGNED&#039; BACK IN SEPT. 2009.

FYI, BE YOUR PERSONAL BEST is one of the three books Mr. Lee penned during his Google tenure.

Such confrontation between Mt. View and PRC gov&#039;t is a direct failure of over 4 years on botched local GR (Gov&#039;t Relations), PR and Marketing; all functions controlled &amp; directed by Mr. Lee.

Yet the man, in his true &quot;Be Your Personal Best&quot; self, questioned the integrity of Mt. View by posing a blog accusing Sergey Brin, being the captain, of abandoning ship during crisis.  What a hypocrite!

4 years +, over US$200 million spent in human and capex capital, yet with barely 20% of market share, no one can fault the decision of
Sergey Brin and company to call it quits.

I personally salute Sergey in this matter.  After all, this is the same guy whom remained truth to himself throughout  He&#039;s one of the few dissenting voice when Google ventured into the PRC back in 2005!</description>
