It was a long four years, but Google and the Chinese government’s relationship seems to be on the rocks.
According to the NYT, Google is threatening to dump China for rifling through the drawers e-mails of human rights activists.
Google added that it is no longer willing to keep the truth from China: truths about democracy, Tibet, Falun Gong, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, the Tiananmen Square massacre, and what was Brittany Murphy’s last film before she died?
What will happen next? No one knows for sure, but hopefully Google will keep its promise about not censoring information just because the Chinese government doesn’t like it.
Google, darling, it’s time you stick to your principle of “Don’t Be Evil” and break up with the Chinese government.

Ah yeah we were talking about this the other day. It’s so unfortunately, I would almost like Google to stay with China just so that the Chinese have some information… but oh well. Great blog!
Well, Google wasn’t really doing much business in China compared to the government-run search engine, called Baidu, I think? Google was censoring sensitive material, so it wasn’t like the Chinese were getting accurate information about things like the Dalai Lama and Tiananmen Square. Who knows what will happen!
And thanks for stopping by! 🙂
