None of this should come as a surprise.

In the U.S. (and the West), making a buck is God Almighty, but, while China is happy to promote prosperity, in a battle of ultimatums, ideology rules the day.

I'm not sure what is being blocked, but i heard the govt is blocking what it wanted google, yahoo to do originally.

I'm wondering when google.com will be restored, rather than google.hk, but still that service is better than say facebook, youtube, twitter, hulu, abc, nbc, cbs, foxtv where there is no access to the services
