In Reply to: Because the Chinese would know they're being locked out and by whom. posted by Shipguy on January 31, 2006 at 16:48:33:
Chinese end-users associate Google, and by extension, the US, with Chinese government mandated censorship. Then by extension, the US is approving of Chinese censorship. Censorship is morally corrupt, so by extension we (the US) become facilitators of the corruption. Is this correct? So your view is this is a step backward, rather than a step forward for the Chinese, correct?I see the inverse. Google enables more access to information. Moving from very limited Web access to more access (even if not totally uncensored), as well as access to Web services like consumer shopping, news, business to business services, and aerial maps, is a positive step, in my view.
Perhaps we are interested in similar end-results (a free and democratic China), and approach it differently. I believe change and desire for freedom accelerates from within, as Chinese own more Dells, Toyotas, and Coach bags. I think you are advocating enabling change externally, from the U.S. I'm cynical, based on our recent adventures in Iraq.
