@ IcemanUSA… You know, China may not be as awful as you think it is. You don’t know what China is like, aside from what you hear through the media. FYI, I completely don’t agree with their information censorship policy (and that their government is totally messed up for being so hard headed about it) among numerous other things, but let’s face reality… you are displaying a certain degree of ethnocentrism that you may not be aware of. Consider that the US American public does not have as much freedom as you claim it to have. You as well as everyone else living in this country should know that it is largely run by corporations buying politicians and the upper-middle to high class society who call the shots. in the past 10 years, what has protesting done to stop the war in Iraq which btw MOST Americans were against? What good is a stable backbone if it is not looking after the best interest of the people who elect it? What about health care reform… which again most Americans desire in spite of the opposition from the right-wing fat politicians who are rolling in money?

I feel bad for anyone living in that AWFUL country with no human rights–CHINA. Obviously the Chinese population has no backbone. The billions living in China could topple that communist government is 2 seconds. Yet they sit there and accept having no freedom. US citizens would not accept that for 1 second, which is why the USA, though not perfect (no country is) is the greatest country on Earth. Stand up for your personal freedoms and end the mind slavery!

As with any democracy the choice is if Google is willing to lose a few $$ in the short term to make more $$ in the long term once China realizes that people are what they are and putting restraints on them are only a temporary solution leading to more conflict. Google…if you do not back out of China then I will Personally work on changing the word “googeling” to “web search”

Google must abide by their own morals and principles. Since this does not match the Chinese law, they are doing the right thing by leaving.

Google should abide by the China law and not their own. If they want to exit, dont threaten and just leave our country for good. Sevenside, Please keep us updated on this. Great update
