Following Google’s decision to stop self-censoring its search engine and other sites in China by redirecting them to its site in Hong Kong, China has now replied by censoring some search queries itself.
In an article, the New York Times is reporting:
mainland Chinese users on Tuesday could not see uncensored Hong Kong content because government computers had either disabled searches for objectionable content completely or blocked links to certain results.
In addition to censoring “sensitive queries,” China is also beginning to possibly shut Google out of other Chinese markets. The New York Times reports that the Chinese government is pressuring China Mobile to kill a mobile search deal with Google, and that China Unicom may cancel its plans to launch an Android phone.
