Chinese state media has spun Google's threat to leave China as a purely commercial move, as authorities there apparently work to limit discussion of human rights issues raised by Google.
"Several days after the Google announcement, there seem to be fewer Google-related posts and editorials in China that include across-the-bow shots at Internet censorship," David Bandurski, a researcher at the University of Hong Kong, wrote in a blog post on Sunday.
Chinese journalists and news editors can face punishment by authorities for publishing articles on sensitive political topics. They are also sometimes ordered not to write on sensitive issues or to post only official newswire stories on them.
Note EU-Digest: Whatever spin the Chinese Government gives to the issue of Human Rights nothing will eventually help them in the long run. The "Genie is out of the bottle" and the only thing still slowing the process down is the greed of most Western Corporations who are willing to "sell their soul to the devil" for financial gain.
