Google bows to China

One day in 2002, the China’s government decided they did not want the defense minister from Taiwan to attend an arms conference in Florida.  China demanded the Bush administration bar his attendance.  They did not. 

When China did not get what they wanted, Chinese General Zhu released the following comment: "China is prepared to use nuclear weapons against the US if it is attacked by Washington during a confrontation over Taiwan."

My first response is how can China possibly want to attack the US over such a trivial issue?  My second is nauseating fear thinking about the trivial Iraq war.  

Here is another sign the Chinese Yahn is more powerful than the dollar and marching to get the US.  This from the BBC News:

Leading internet company Google has said it will censor its search services in China in order to gain greater access to China’s fast-growing market.

Google has offered a Chinese-language version of its search engine for years but users have been frustrated by government blocks on the site.

The company is setting up a new site - Google.cn - which it will censor itself to satisfy the authorities in Beijing.

Google argued it would be more damaging to pull out of China altogether.

 Bush has made China so powerful, they can force US companies to bow to their oppressive demands.  When China decides to squash the US financially, we will be subject to the same nonsense as Google.  Instead of Republican or Democrat, our choices will be Free Speech or Nukes.  Soon the phrase "Choose Life" will have new meaning.
