Googling from China 

By TigerHawk at 6/20/2006 06:49:00 AM


I haven't spent much time on line -- we are, after all, on a family vacation in China -- but I did manage to Google "tiananmen square". Not only did I get hits, but the page loaded the iconic photograph of those protests, the famous confronting of the tanks. Here's a cropped screencap from Google.com:



Note, however, that most of the links that appear on the page are blocked, including (for example) the Wikipedia entry related to the "protests of 1989" (but not the entry that merely describes Tiananmen Square). So the Commies are definitely trying to block mention of the protests, but succeeding rather imperfectly.
