One or two may perhaps have forgotten that China is run by a "communist" regime of brutal this sounds like the word "regime", nice to the customs officer smiles upon arrival at Beijing Capital Airport, too beautiful farbenfroh schwirren noch die Erinnerungen von Olympia 2008 in vielen Köpfen herum. Gerade letzterer Event wurde seiner Zeit von wenigen Individuen und Gruppierungen massiv kritisiert, was jedoch in der öffentlichen Verblendung in Form einer Mischung aus Naivität, Heuchelei, Feigheit oder Profitgier klaglos unterging. Dass die VR China ein massives Problem bzgl. persönlicher Freiheitsrechte hat, ist nichts Neues – mal ganz abgesehen von der „klassischen“ Tibet- und Taiwanproblematik. Diese Tatsache scheint dem Großteil der Menschen allerdings nicht wirklich bewusst zu sein, anders lässt es sich nämlich nicht erklären, warum in den letztem Tagen plötzlich wieder alle scheinheilig mit dem Finger auf Chinas Regierung have shown.
It is, of course - how could it be any different these days - from armed vs. Google. China speech. So now it's finally AGREED ON still so far that Google wants to hold it to the censorship requirements of Beijing. In addition to information: Because in China there is no freedom of expression and information policy, even the supposedly free Internet in China is limited free - popular web services like Twitter, YouTube and Facebook are also blocked as pages critical of the government or pornographic content, officially to protect the population from bad influences. The Googles decision to withdraw from the Chinese market tw. withdraw to Hong Kong went, but still other events before, such as a hacker attack of the chines. Government (according to Google) to Gmail accounts of several Chinese blogger critical of the government a few weeks ago. Now, Google has finally after weeks of internal consultation made a decision: "Round up the Infromationspolitik in the PRC, Google has decided from the chines. Market retreat.
principle, one that Google's decision, of course, only mean well, but the thing is by nature a bit more complex. Because while Google is the world's leading search engine by far (market share above 80%!) Of the Mega Group grundelt in the PRC "only" in 2nd place behind Demre locally superior search engine "Baidu" around. When Google started in 2006 in the strategically important Chinese market, incredibly, of course, the expectations were set high. The fact that Google will sooner or later would also market leader in China, was even then whisper behind their hands. Almost five years later, the reality does indeed look less rosy. The fact that such a large giant like Google can not prevail against a relatively small local contractors, was then probably some people on the Google board a bit too embarrassing. Although Google China accents on the chines. Market set, for example, through its extensive online music services, or by Google Maps (the competitor Baidu immature or not at present), but you have not done it in half a decade yet clearly on the chines. Market as a number to establish one.
Before one now admits a mistake or weakness, must hold fast the times chines. Government together with its censorship rules to serve as a scapegoat. Despite all the contempt for the Chinese rulers have to give them, but rather, that Google's entry to the chines. Censorship has agreed to turn, but what a pretty pale - throws light on the Mega Group - as profit horny. Because if Google is really so interested in freedom of speech, why was the then ever on the chines. Market with all its "special rules" into? This question is currently split between advocates and opponents of Google, and more often fall phrases such as "hypocritical" or "set an example". The dream of some, that will now follow countless other companies in China Google's example is completely made up of the air to profit is promising for the incredibly large chines. Market. On the other hand, it would be especially in today's times when China is becoming an emerging economic power more and more confidence on the world stage, "to have in his place" is important, the Middle Kingdom and from time to time oder ihm zu zeigen „So nicht, mein Freund“ – allein schon der Gedanke an eine solche Aktion treibt wohl jedem politisch korrekten Diplomaten auf dieser Welt den Schweiß auf die Stirn, was wiederum die Frage „wie sehr kontrolliert uns China mittlerweile schon?“ aufwirft.
Dass Geld und Moral selten gut zusammen passen, ist weithin nichts Neues – insofern sollte man an Firmen, die Ihre Ware in China herstellen lassen oder in den chines. Markt expandieren, bzgl. ethischer Entscheidungen keine allzu großen Erwartungen richten. Dass jedoch ausgerechnet Politiker, die abgesehen von staatlichen Eigeninteressen auch noch diverse Werte vertreten sollten (sic!), sich dermaßen von dem „Gelben Giant can intimidate "borders, but then have to absurdity. When it was after the award of the Olympic Games to China dared to criticize the government because of the Tibet issue was, that prompt response from Beijing, which one hears in such matters always: "That is none of your business". was itself a repeated entreaties of several British diplomats as well as Gordon Brown himself the chines - just as it was when it was executed in December 2009, a native Briton in China for drug smuggling. Government was only a dry extract "That is none of your business". The whole thing goes so far that the organizer of the Frankfurt Book Fair 2009, two chines. Dissidents, there should participate in a panel discussion that has been unloaded at the last minute to China (and therefore the largest book market in the world) not to annoy!
But who thinks a small book fair organizers were acting only due to lack of power so mistaken. For even the supposedly most powerful man in the world, Barrack Obama himself, can be of the chines. Government to dance around on the nose. So for example, when the U.S. president has recently with the Dalai Lama (his sign of the chines. yes party official as a "religious
terrorists") hit the White House. That this meeting high would make waves in Beijing, was a clear perspective as they rapped on the part of China for weeks on a rejection of the meeting "to Sino-US relations not to interfere." Obama then decided for the worst possible way: Cancelled the meeting was of course not, but then also held not as official as originally planned - the U.S. president welcomed the Dalai Lama very unglamorous without reporters and press in a back room of the White House "to to respect the demands of China. " Beijing was nevertheless annoyed (to say the least). Likewise, we missed a certain steadfastness of Obama in the Causa arms sales the United States to Taiwan last year. Here, too, mingled with China back towards the U.S. and threatened with the already almost obligatory words "Sino-US relations are at stake," but the courage to stamp his foot heavily on the floor and say "That is none of your business "Obama has displayed including, no one in this world.
appears Viewed in this context, Google's decision immediately in a completely different light. Even if it should only be a cleverly threaded Marketing ash, you have to keep Google too good, that they have (albeit possibly unintentionally) sent out a signal. A sign for the party some time needed to digest, because immediately after Google's announcement, the rulers in Beijing was still a far nothing else to block a variety of searches on Google Hong Kong from China. A few days later, sent a spokesman for the government with a more well-thought instead of acting helpless claim to Google: Google leads for espionage by U.S. intelligence to equip themselves for a possible "Internet war". At the same time was in the media, which reported the whole affair in some detail, launched a smear campaign on Google, in which one accused the group all possible legitimate facts, but completely out of context and in any way related to Google China stood. For example, was criticized in many other countries on Google's "Street View" function (which in China is not even available!) Reported thus far and the U.S. company tries to move in a pale light. What's next long-term with Google China can currently estimate probably no one seriously, but it seems most likely that Google's search engine function will be blocked in the long term partly or entirely in China and remain popular additional services such as Google Maps or the music portal still accessible. Thus would the chines. Market is also well distributed: Baidu takes care of search requests, while Google specializing in various web services.
The only thing that will remain of this David vs. Goliath affair, is a pale aftertaste of the Chinese information policy. For that bans increase the allure of the forbidden much more likely to have not quite überissen in Beijing. The most read FHM magazine is by far China, which, although in terms of content of a ladies underwear catalog differs little or not at all - a naked shoulder blade but probably still remember one or another of the smell of freedom and revolution.

Said young lady had in fact - for whatever reason - as a goal in a summer 100 different wild strange men to kiss and hold each kiss on photos, which were then published in the connector on your blog. The blog has this quickly so famous that even the party was aware of it and the blog - despite supposedly not present offensive content - in short, censored. If even a simple kiss on the regime in Beijing can panic break out, then good night, China.
