China Backs Censorship After Google Threat
Pushing the idea of censorship as the right thing to do because China says so.
China told companies to back state control of the Internet on Thursday, showing no sign of giving ground on censorship after U.S. Internet giant Google threatened to quit the country. Minister of the State Council Information Office, Wang Chen, said that online pornography, fraud and "rumours" were a menace. He said Internet media must help "guide public opinion" in China, which has the world's biggest number of Internet users at 360 million. He did not mention Google.

Well then, Mr. Chang, I humbly offer the idea that if you consider your own people too stupid to think for themselves, then maybe you SHOULD be deprived of American technology.
