Ah ok that link works. Its probably because that word shows up on alot more chinese speaking sites, most english speaking sites probably are refering to the protests that happened there.

The Chinese Google sight is censored. Google admitted it when they launched it. It is a snapshot (pardon the pun) of two worlds. The one we are blessed to live in and the one that stifles information and knowledge. Thank God we live in a country where that type of information is not stifled. Thank God we are ruled by two parties that are nowhere close to the type of lifestyle the Chinese are forced to live under.

Ummm.... wait a minute.... you've never heard of the MSM bias here in America? Isn't that the same as "stifling"?

Well.... if the liberals had their way, America would be a socialist country too.

Yeah, I found it interesting that Google was so defiant when the government asked for a random days sampling of searches, but they were willing to bend over backwards to hep the Chinese government hide a part of history they want to keep hidden.

It's all about money of course. Both decisions seem in conflict in political terms, however, they make perfect sense in terms of economic gain.

I should have been more clear. I meant stifled in the manner that it is in China.

yea page 5 has a picture of the tanks. Just 1 photo though. Probably because most chinese sites don't/can't have that photo or information listed for fear of the government in china.

I know China is censoring their info but i dont know to how great a lengths theyll go to stop ALL of it.
