Google Asks US For WTO Block On China Censorship

Posted by Soulskill on from the calling-in-the-bantam-artillery dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Google is asking the US government to petition the World Trade Organization to recognize China's censorship as an unfair barrier to trade. The US Trade Representative is reviewing their petition to see if they can prove that China's rules discriminate against foreign competition. At least it's something worthwhile for the US Trade Reps to do, rather than secretly negotiating ACTA."

    It's information that the government doesn't want to be public. The US government can control the publication of the information regarding Guantanamo. The Chinese government cannot control the publication of the information about Tienanmen, but it can restrict access to it. It's the same thing: don't let your citizens read about it.

    If you cannot see the similarities, I pity you.
