This certainly has its merit, however this is only the half truth. Why most American companies will not and can not bribe their ways out in China as their Chinese competitors normally do? Because there is something called 'Foreign Corrupt Practices Act(FCPA)'. The dire financial &amp; reputational consequences of breaching such a US law prevent most Americans from doing under-the-table tricks which are ubiquitous in China. Do American business suffer? I assume so. Why not a lot of people cry for this?<br><br>So the question is really at what price the Amercians, especailly the American government, will hold their moral high ground. Comparing with the billions of dollors the Americans (or at least half of the Americans) are willingly to shed to promote democracy in Middle-east, I do believe the financial consequences of Microsoft or Google or whoever who do not comply with Chinese blackmails will be just peanuts.<br><br>Certainly, from any single corporation's point of view, especially for those with big stake in China, loss of revenue there is an immediate pain.

I don't know when it will come to a head but it has become a very capitalist place and the dog is a symbol of the old upper and middle classes.<br><br>For the most part I have the understanding that the Chinese Government is trying to stem the spread of ideas but that they have already given up part of their control of desired skilled citizens, who have outside knowledge and are finding ways of getting around the censorship, without letting anyone on the outside know. This preserves the status quo but possibly allowing it to form a new center for a new era. This could be an interpretation of Bill Gates switch in stance over Google, I don't know enough but he has thrown his hat into the development field these days.<br><br>Its difficult to get good information out of China as it is a closed country, and I've heard both positive things and extremely scary things. Its changing fast.

This is what I SEE from this post and its associated comments, even if it is not entirely reflective of the conversation so far.<br><br>1. At Les Blogs 2.0 I listened to Rebecca and others talk in considerable detail about the complexities and difficulties in fathoming the Chinese authorities attitudes towards censorship. It made me realise there are no quick fixes and that comment about such things \'we\' regard as abuse needs handling with extreme care. And in that I would defer to Rebecca any day of the week. She\'s been there, she knows the terrain.<br>2. Given the issues Rebecca details and the political sensitivities in play, would it not have been better to find out from MSN what they have to say before blowing your foghorn Robert?<br>3. The focus now is not on the wider issue at hand but looks like deteriorating into yet another f**k MSFT fest - I\'m sure that\'s not Robert had in mind at all. It takes away from the central arguments.<br>4. I\'d love nothing more than to see everyone having the kind of voice Robert espouses. But there are times when diplomacy matters and where remaining tight lipped - if only to establish the facts - is more appropriate than what seems to me at least, to be something of a knee jerk reaction on Robert\'s part.<br>5. Just how would giving Zhao Jing space on Robert\'s site make any difference? If anything, I can imagine it ticking off Chinese officials even more than Zhao\'s current activities.<br><br>Having said that, if MSN is acting as some sort of unofficial censor then the circumstances of those activities are worthy of scrutiny. But only when MSN has had the opportunity to put its case forward.</div>\

But there are some real hazards to doing intellectual property business in China.  I mean, come on!  Don\'t tell me this isn\'t a scenario that MS didn\'t expect, in one form or another.  How does MS maintain its integrity in a situation like this?  First, they need to (on an internal basis) own up to the fact that they made a deal with the devil (so to speak).  Second, they comprehensive strategy for dealing with pressures from the Chinese government in a way that doesn\'t compromise the core values of the company.  This means being politically savvy, and understanding the difference between passive and active cooperation.  If MS didn\'t do this when they expanded their business in Asia, then they\'ve done the equivalent of walking into a minefield, blindfolded.<br><br>I\'m hoping MS still has an idea of the bigger picture here.</div>\

OTOH, if they (or Yahoo or Google or IBM, other companies who have been in similar situations) don\'t cooperate and are kept out of China for it, the Chinese tech market will still evolve and perhaps be spurred to develop native competitors ot MYGI. In the long run they may do just that anyway but in the long run we are all dead too. I believe this is a prime example of a Hobson\'s Choice...</div>\

Just because a technology gives one the ability to censor, does not mean that one should.  The only reason censorship exists is to give off an image of power and scare people into believing or behaving a certain way.  I know this is blatant self-promotion, but I recently started a website dedicated to free speech - <a href="http://liberdictus.com" rel="nofollow">http://liberdictus.com</a>.  Those of you here from <a href="http://digg.com" rel="nofollow">digg.com</a> will know the general idea behind it: anyone can submit articles which remain in a queue until they get a certain number of votes.  The biggest difference, though, is that these articles are written by users, not just links to articles written by others.  I really hope that it becomes a platform for true free speech.  It is completely uncensored, and accepts content no matter the content.</div>\

It is not their job to impose a different set of rules on a country. Sure, I know they didn\'t, its a free world and a US server, but at the end of the day, a Chinese guy started doing something which the Chinese authorities didn\'t like, and they asked MSFT to do something for them. There\'s a lot at stake here commercially (obviously) - an awful lot. But I also don\'t think MSFT should be using its weight to "impose" democracy and free speech - after all, it isn\'t what everyone wants (be that a good thing or not). Yes, it smells. But really, they were stuck between a rock and a hard place, and decided to choose a bit of bad low-level publicity versus potentially high-level publicity, law suits, even their software being banned in the country concerned.</div>\

It\'s more akin to a pr0n site\'s ISP kicking them off the net, because somewhere out there is an anti-pr0n user.  It\'s implicitly saying that there is a moral absolute, and it is the UNION of everything every influential group in the world thinks is bad.<br><br>Moral relativism instead suggests that it is China\'s responsibility to block off content that is unappealing to it.  Microsoft shouldn\'t, because it may be appealing to someone else, and it would be wrong to deny that \'someone else\' access to it purely because China finds it unpleasant.<br><br>I\'m going to make a SWAG that the blog was removed for activity (statements?) that would be criminal in the users home country.

Last week before Christmas <a href="http://Myspace.com" rel="nofollow">Myspace.com</a> censored all mentioning of <a href="http://Youtube.com" rel="nofollow">Youtube.com</a> and all linking to youtube videoclips. See more information on my blog here:<br><br><a href="http://samkoma.net/videoblog/?p=17" rel="nofollow">http://samkoma.net/videoblog/?p=17</a><br><br>Myspace also shut down my myspace account for a while, I assume it was because I was critical of the censorship and the blogoshere was starting up heated discussion about this. My account was later reopened. Myspace seem to be eager to destroy all traces of this censorship and evidence that it ever  took place. This is very interesting example of how powerful and invisible censorship in our western world can be and how important it is for activism not to be dependent upon the media channels you are targeting.</div>\

This certainly has its merit, however this is only the half truth. Why most American companies will not and can not bribe their ways out in China as their Chinese competitors normally do? Because there is something called \'Foreign Corrupt Practices Act(FCPA)\'. The dire financial &amp; reputational consequences of breaching such a US law prevent most Americans from doing under-the-table tricks which are ubiquitous in China. Do American business suffer? I assume so. Why not a lot of people cry for this?<br><br>So the question is really at what price the Amercians, especailly the American government, will hold their moral high ground. Comparing with the billions of dollors the Americans (or at least half of the Americans) are willingly to shed to promote democracy in Middle-east, I do believe the financial consequences of Microsoft or Google or whoever who do not comply with Chinese blackmails will be just peanuts.<br><br>Certainly, from any single corporation\'s point of view, especially for those with big stake in China, loss of revenue there is an immediate pain. This is why I think the American government should step in, establishing something similar to the FCPA, forbiding US companies from assisting foreign governments to curb any democratic initiatives.<br><br>Call me a dreamer at your will. As a Chinese who himself shed blood in Tiananmen square in 1989, I know how difficult it is for normal people to stand up and fight within. Anti is a courageous young man, he should be supported at any costs.<br><br>PS1: Talking about Chinese laws, it is in China\'s constitution that people have freedom of speech, freedom of forming parties etc. The only notable lack of freedom from a legal point of view is that Chinese are not allowed to strike, which suits American MNCs handsomely.<br><br>PS2: I live in southern Germany, 2 miles from Swiss border, maybe not too far from your mom\'s hometown :-)</div>\

No, they are amoral with regard to the moral context that I use. If you are a shark, you have a much different set of moral values.<br><br>Likewise, were the members of the Donner Party immoral? Is it moral relativism to suggest that they did what was necessary to survive? Is it any less necessary for the Chinese gov\'t to behave in a certain way to preserve itself? If they do not know any other way to survive but to continue along the same path they\'ve been on for a generation, is it surprising that they would behave this way?<br><br>There are cultures that have no problems with selling children into prostitution for the family to survive. It\'s easy for me to call them immoral, but I\'m not the one staring at the possibility of the rest of my family starving to death in an impoverished nation and no opportunities to "pull myself up by my own bootstraps."<br><br>Drawing morally lines in the sand is fun, but to suggest that there are culturally independent demarcations is a bit naive, don\'t you think?</div>\

It presents an article censored and approved by the Chinese government as if it were true and independent.  At least, if the work is deleted entirely, the empty space stands as a stinging indictment of censorship and an embarrasment to the authorities.  It could be the catalyst for widespread resistance against such censorship, whereas tolerating the ongoing interference ensures it continues, unnoticed and unchallenged.</div>\

And Microsoft and Yahoo are cooperating. Yahoo\'s cooperation -- supplying e-mail origin data to the police -- has put a Chinese human rights activist in prison. Microsoft so far is just helping the Chinese government gag its people.<br><br>These are American companies, whatever that means. But the big question is: As American supercompany tech evolves over the next decade, how will giants like Microsoft and Yahoo resist US government pressures to control and censor the public\'s information environment? Doesn\'t the US government -- NSA, FBI, Homeland Security -- have a powerful argument with "You did it for China. Why won\'t you do it for your own country?"<br><br>In other words, market pressure on the tech infrastructure giants is pressure to play ball with every country\'s organs of state security. We\'ve just seen the Chinese vanguard first. China is barely embarrassed about its totalitarian police-state nature.<br><br>But how will Microsoft, Yahoo and the other US tech and telecommunications giants behave when the US government asks them to Play Ball in ways not strictly required by existing laws? With Microsoft and Yahoo\'s help, I think we\'re seeing the last days of free Internet speech in the USA.

Although you can question whether it\'s appropriate or not generally, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of the U.S.A. governs the conduct of \'American\' companies wherever they do business.<br>If MSN, Yahoo, and others had bribed the Chinese gov\'t with cash, material gifts, etc. to win or retain business, they could and probably would be prosecuted in the U.S.A. under this Act.  But apparently the U.S. Justice Department is taking the position that staying in the good graces of Chinese officials for the welfare of their business by \'bribing\' them with censorship, violations of client confidentiality and other repugnant behaviors is not a violation of the Act.<br>I wonder if U.S. courts would view it the same way, and I wonder if it\'s possible for private individuals to sue under the F.C.P.A.?</div>\

I pulled up a tree from a large planter and set it on the gold carpet entrance. whereupon i sang a song. i was confronted by the owner. he said i had a good voice and he wanted me to sing at his restaurant next door.i told him i wasn\'t sure i would live that long/. he assured  me that as long as i was at his place nothing would happen to me. as long as i paid for the carpet to be cleaned. we met up with others and went to a very expensive flat. then we limoed to lvx and shttled bak to cal on the red lear.but the days after the dunking i was shaking. how many times would they try to kill me.?oh well i stuk it out for the next two years at fisherman\'s wharf and ran into P A once more befor i felt  it was necessary to flee to mexico. run south of the border. which i did.cont.</div>\

I am studying economics and the development of social institutions and one of the critical issues in this field is the shrinking middle in just about everything: so I really appreciated your common sense argument.<br><br>For what it is worth a big issue in american and international politics is to figure out how to put more well spoken people in the center, and how to talk to each other once more. I think blogging helps. :D<br><br>Also the next generation of Chinese kids should be very interesting when they find more of their voice. They have had a middle class for awhile now and they were discussing things surreptiously through old poetry and issues that sound very unpolitical, such as the <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/11/14/AR2006111401172.html?nav=rss_world" rel="nofollow">"one dog policy,"</a> in Beijing. I don\'t know when it will come to a head but it has become a very capitalist place and the dog is a symbol of the old upper and middle classes.<br><br>For the most part I have the understanding that the Chinese Government is trying to stem the spread of ideas but that they have already given up part of their control of desired skilled citizens, who have outside knowledge and are finding ways of getting around the censorship, without letting anyone on the outside know. This preserves the status quo but possibly allowing it to form a new center for a new era. This could be an interpretation of Bill Gates switch in stance over Google, I don\'t know enough but he has thrown his hat into the development field these days.<br><br>Its difficult to get good information out of China as it is a closed country, and I\'ve heard both positive things and extremely scary things. Its changing fast. I agree attention needs to be paid to the issue of censorship though, it is a huge concern.</div>\
