Well it has finally happened, Google have removed the censorship from searches made in China. They have doe it by moving the searches to Hong Kong where the censorship rules are more relaxed.
This has been on the lips of many journalist for the past few weeks and is thought to have happened as a result of the cyber-hacks from China early in the new year.
We have no idea on how China will react to this but I do believe that the Chinese people will be using Google that little bit more now to see what is really happening in their country. Ccensored articles included, images etc to do with resistance, the Tiananmen Square protest and issues of that nature alone with (we think) Western free thinking!
