NPR radio reported that Google has plans to pull out of China due to the Chinese government's
insistence on blocking many Internet based information sites.
Google can not accomodate the Chinese government's request to block
all or most of the information based web sites.
China, though economically open, is still very much restrictive with its media and especially
the Internet.
The unicameral nation wants to dismember anything that hints of organized opposition.
I am certain that many CHinese officials do not want a repeat of the fall of the Berlin Wall
in Beijing.
Meanwhile, the question remains: Will Google give up its largest customer? for the sake of
convenience and freedom of information on the Internet?
