Guest Post: Google.cn Pulls Out of Communist China

Summary: An anonymous Boycott Novell reader from China shares his views about Google's situation in China

Maybe we should use this cartoon, regarding how Google stands against tyranny, while Microsoft supports obeying the Communist regime?

China's regime



Is China a county without morality or is that just the Communist Party?

Xinjiang



Google is standing up against tyranny, by not supporting an oppressive regime that denies it’s own citizens the truth, equality, equal access to information and their rights to be informed about the issues effecting them with immoral laws that are unjustified against the people’s need to know what is going on!

Let’s be honest, how many Chinese would demand laws to deny them their own rights to access information?

Does God only love the wealthy (immoral) leaders who forbid their own people equality and equal rights?

Now in China, the media propaganda is attacking and blaming Google as like an enemy of the State!

Totally Wrong to Stop Censoring! (written by the Communist Regime in China!)

http://www.xinhuanet.com/english2010

Question: Why is it totally right to “censor” the Chinese people wanting to be informed about the issues effecting them? Why should a people be forbidden from knowing, to be made ignorant?

It’s the Communist regime that is denying its own people the free service provided by Google!

“Google’s decision is a symbol of a worsening business climate in China for foreign corporations. A growing number of U.S. companies feel unwelcome in China. Since Google cannot exist in China, it clearly indicates that China’s path as a rising power is going in a direction different from what the world expected and what many Chinese were hoping for. The Internet was suppose to be a catalyst for China becoming more integrated into the world.”

Google did obey the regime's immoral laws for four years, which was repaid back with Chinese (PLA military) hackers from two universities in China: Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the Lanxiang Vocational School stealing some of the company’s source code and hacking into the Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights advocates.

Why shouldn’t Google have grown frustrated with complying with the Communist regime rules/laws by obeying them, when treated like this?

Should Google become the arms of the Communist regime, to do it’s bidding, working against humanity and human rights?

Just because in some countries it’s legal to sell children into sexual slavery, does that mean American businesses need to follow those laws, when it’s immoral and against our own laws and values? What do Americans stand for and what are the values of the Communist regime?
