Google vs Chinese Government

Before the era of Internet, in China, the only sources of news are the public medias primarily owned and controlled by the government.

Internet changed the landscape. Ordinary people can potentially become content providers. It has a tremendous impact on Chinese society. In recent years we saw how greatly Internet improved human rights in China. People has an easily accessible channel to voice their concerns over domestic and political issues.

It's always an endless war between the government and the people in many countries over government control and people's freedom. The Introduction of "open and free Internet" in China silently changed Chinese political atmosphere. The impact was much bigger than many people thought.

I don't know how it will turn out to be. But one thing  I am pretty sure, without an "open and free Internet" in China, at the end, the Chinese people will be the losers. In a delicate and complicated modern society, remove one key factor will have a tremendous impact on the entire society.
