An opinion piece from the China Daily website reveals an extremely interesting perspective on Chinese censorship of the internet.
Is the U.S. just using this face off between China and Google to once again intervene in our own "big brother knows best" style? While I don't think it is in any way acceptable for the Chinese government to hack into the gmail accounts of Chinese (or foreign) activists, and I support Google pulling out of China if it continues to extensively censor the flow of information over the interwebs, I think the U. S. needs to recognize that there is not much else we can do besides make a big fuss about it. It is not our place to intervene no matter how much we think we know better. Besides, I am positive that the United States government censors our interwebs as well, just not to the same extent. Moderation is key.
