Obviously the IPs of my home and office computers are recorded somewhere. Chinese police can get me anytime... However, I did not say much and God knows what specific words in my blog offended the government. I thought I love China and that is for her good. During the process of censorship, they block their own scientific and economic progress sometimes. Very smart students dont have access to the advanced Western R&D posted on the net because the government wants to censor no matter what... Schools are demolished because people teach Christianity... Christian leaders are jailed for spreading gospel. Or I should say some uncivilized brain, in a closed environment, or out of their own decision, block the economic (I am not even talking political) progress of the country.

On behalf of Typepad, Anil Dash states that “the availability of TypePad-powered sites in China isn’t something we have control over.” Okay, I can buy into that. What about the deeper pockets that perhaps could exert some influence?

Take for instance all the pg 13 movies that are now produced instead of gritty, substantive r flicks that draw you in. It would be in everyones best interest to loosen up on the reins a little bit so we can enjoy not only chinese, but everyone.

These do contradict other laws in their government, however (see above). Perhaps it's just a fuzzy line between what is protection and what is inhibiting human rights. It isn't as extreme, but in western societies sites dissallow profanity, but this is not seen as taking away a right! Chinese government is just another totalitarian government which have never been understood or indorsed by capitalist countries. Microsoft is not to blame for this, but yes, they can be seen as unethical.

It wasn't really an ethical decision, but when has business been ethical? Also, just to clear this up, words like 'freedom' and 'democracy' aren't the only censored words, though they're the most extreme. Words that lead to suicide pacts, sexual profanities, bomb making instructions etc. are also blocked. I guess that is a good way to go, really. But I do agree it is extreme and unjust to block most of the words. Who are they to decide what their people say? Then who am I to say that their un-democratic government are wrong? Maybe it's a culture thing... Well China did in fact choose the censored words, not Microsoft, who simply agreed to help as a business plan.
