Perhaps China herself doesn’t even know what she’s been doing recently. This mad state firstly kept its netizens banned from certain “touchy” Internet content for days around June 4, then threw out the irritating software Green Dam aiming at censoring “unhealthy” content in the name of protecting younger netizens. Right after that, CCTV had one of their staff play an ordinary college student’s role on TV, known as the screen name GAO Ye, who made a fuss about Google faking a reaction to the sexual content “brought” by Google. GAO Ye was eventually identified by human powered search on xiaonei.com and overwhelmingly condemned  for he had explicitly ruined Google’s fame and respectability, which was not accepted by sensible netizens. But now you can’t Google anything with the keyword GAO Ye since China has barred all the results.

How come China has been panicked into banning sexual content? It’s plain to see that China is keeping an eye on political crises other than porn ban. As an alien corporation, Google has always been regarded as a foe in information transaction because it’s able to lead users to unwanted political content or help them uncover a number of covert horrid government issues. CCTV and Baidu, Google’s biggest competitor in China’s search service, have conspired to strike a fatal blow on Google at the expense of Google’s respectability and reliability and both CCTV and Baidu may well benefit from the intrigue. This time, again, Google has to go through the trauma, whether expected or not. But Google’s not alone, having received decent support from China’s netizens.

The picture (logo) above was created by a Chinese netizen named CantZH. As he expects, we should boycott Baidu and collectively thwart their conspiracy.

Online porn’s been in China even since 1990s and never ever had the state taken high-key measures to prevent them from getting popular. Out of the blue the state interfered. It was sheer absurdity.

It’s a barbarian’s war with no holds barred. We are waiting for China to confess that she enjoys politics better than porn.
