Beijing has criticised US internet giant Google, after it decided to withdraw its server from China and redirect users to its uncensored Hong Kong site. In January a rift grew between the two after the firm announced it would no longer censor it’s services – later citing viral attacks on the accounts of human rights workers for the decision. Authorities in Hong Kong say they won’t comply with the mainland in controlling the company’s web content. But investigative journalist Webster Tarpley thinks the belief that moving operations to Hong Kong will solve the problem, is naive.

Americans are holding the world hostage to pay of their debt.
@markwessex And also, just who is Wen Jiabao? and who is Xi Jinping, these guys got a lot power, the can veto a decision made by Hu jintao, so does that mean there are 5 dictators in China at the same time, geesh that’s messed up!
@markwessex, dictatorship? so who is the dictator? Hu Jintao? lol, well, he is surely a lucky guys since that last dictator Jiang Zeming just gave the power to him after 10 years in office. Geesh, I’ve thought that once you are a dictator, you would never give your position away, lol.

Excuse me U.S politician and Google what-so-ever what do you mean pull out of CHINA and head out for HONG KONG? Hong Kong is PART OF CHINA. Those colonist are crave after foreign authority and land.
you’re selling that bull to the wrong f. person!
what are the real reasons? huh?!
it just happens that my country is not the us of a… I live in ex-communist Romania and I know exactly why people in communist dictatorships leave to the Occident! and it’s NOT “solely for the economic gain”!!!! there are many other reasons related with basic human rights… and your hypocrisy is monumental!
why not go back there now?! come-on, what do you have to lose, are you a millionaire?
The cheap junk China sends you were ingredients the U.S company owners’ ordered them to make the products with, you moronic redneck.
asians migrated to america solely for the economic gain a few decades ago, not for your so called ”freedom” as much as you silly americans think that….
This is complete horse crap. The interviewer is wrong on just about every fact he mentions. Google isn’t physically moving anything. They’ve always had servers in hong kong and are just forwarding to HK. China cannot change HK laws as it is an internationally reconized issue.
You stay classy.

Its funny to hear my friends that are unemployed sometimes say, “I am going be looking for work this week”; however, they have a narrow perspective about economic interconnectiveness.
Meaning simply they tend to, (like most Americans that believe what the Govenment tells them), not view the wider connection of the world economy. Most people think there is still an American economy. Where the hell is it? China and other nations have invested a lot of world currency into the U.S., but the U.S. is not for sale.
Right?
Damn dude, I like your style of verbal abuse. There are so many overgrown infants living in false realities, here’s to you!
Yeah never install chrome, you have to reformat your drive, to get rid of every trace of it….
Google is owned and controlled by the Jews , Larry Page (dishonest name changer hiding behind local sounding names) & Sergey Brin. Google have their base in occupied Palestine. I refuse to download Google spy-ware products !!! – Facebook is also a Jewish spy tool !
them vs us- googletube is the enemy
Come to Mountain View, where Google is headquartered, and count the number of Chinese working in their research branch; without the Chinese, there would be no modern Google. THIS is the reason why they are still continuing to hire for Google – Beijing branch.
i say “so what even if what this moron is saying is true??” at least the US allows people like this guy to criticize the government whereas, in China people can’t point a finger at the government because China is an extremely nationalistic country where doing so would be treason. hence its a place where the government tells you whats true and whats not….pretty sad.
@markwessex
Fundamental law of capitalism:
Money talks, BS walks.
@tears4tibet, yes, China must have every sane person on its payroll. While people like you is living on your own expense.
Google would be stupid to think that HK chinese will not steal their code. This is crafty chinese, still trying to get their hands on Google code,
Wake up google, don’t trust these slit eyed sliperry snakes!
Why do the Bloody western companies help China come up to speed in technology? Microsoft and yaho, etc., are traitors. US/West will live to regret helping make china a super power.
This is very short term thinking for profit. These ppl who are billionaires! What they going to do with extra money, grow 2 more stomachs and arses? Is there No limit to greed?
China is a Dictatorship. US/West has double standards. Wars & Sanctions against small nations, yet ass-licking the powerful chinese!
If the Chinese Government paid me to write comments in their favor on you tube, I’d do it. It’s not like I’d have a choice in the matter.
