Google condemned as search results point to China Daily website! Well, could be. Too much skin. See here one of those offending pics on their site (and in print – front page!).

Will be interesting to see if those Chinese “government” sites will be shut down too.
The pathetic Green Dam story continues with the authorities not giving in. Maybe the good thing about all that: it might for once make their own netizens mad enough to counterreact.
In its continuing clampdown on dissent, pornography or whatever the Party is afraid of, now this:
“Access to information about sex on the Internet will be further restricted under a new regulation by the Ministry of Health. Under the regulation, which will come into effect on July 1, websites that link to sex-related studies and research can be accessed only by health professionals and researchers.
Under the new regulation, the MOH will better manage and monitor health-related websites, which are already required to be approved and registered with health authorities, said an official surnamed Yang with MOH’s information office.”
Of course anything related to information for not-so-straight people, AIDS/HIV awareness etc. will suffer. Many Chinese are not amused.
In recent years China is clamping further down on the media. Many expats here still don’t get it. (“no no, they can’t stop it”). We all hoped that after The-2008-Great-Clean-Up it would calm down but…
Isn’t it funny that all “people’s paradises” (or whatever you like to call it) countries who are supposed to liberate the masses and fight against “exploitation” are the worst to restrict the media, to shut up all dissenting voices, to control and restrict as much as they can? Happens in the following countries:  AAA, BBB, CCC, DDD, etc. (sorry, you have to fill in the names yourself). If it is all so nice and good in their country, what do they have to hide?
