China Criticizes Google's "US Ties"
krou writes "State-run news agency Xinhua has attacked what it calls Google's 'intricate ties with the US government' amongst its high level officials, claiming that it's 'an open secret that some security experts in the Pentagon are from Google.' They have also accused the company of trying to change Chinese society by imposing American values on it. Xinhua said that 'One company's ambition to change China's internet rules will only prove to be ridiculous.' Google has denied the claims. Google spokeswoman Jessica Powell said that 'The decision to review our business in China was entirely Google's and Google's alone.'"
People who think Google is doing that for human rights are naive.
It is like people who are thinking USA went to Irak for the weapons of mass destructions....

"What's happens to US citizens when they criticize the US government?'
Major media outlets and the incumbent party leaders refer to them as "teabaggers" and insist that they are just acting under the direction of the evil news conglomerate Fox News and that Dick Cheney is controlling them all via satellite from his Fortress of Doom in Halliburton's headquarters while eating kittens by the litter.
So what? It's still morally equivalent. America is just as bad as China, if not worse.
