China's ruling Communist Party has intensified censorship inrecent months, fearing that calls for protests inspired byanti-authoritarian uprisings across the Middle East and northAfrica could gather momentum.
Google's serious run-ins with the Chinese government beganin January 2010, when the company said it was no longer willingto censor search results in the country. Previously, the companyincluded a disclaimer on its China service that searches may notbe complete because of local laws.
Searches for terms deemed sensitive by Chinese censors areroutinely blocked. Chinese search engines such as that offeredby Baidu already voluntarily filter searches.
Google also said it had uncovered sophisticated China-basedattacks on human rights activists using its Gmail service aroundthe world. The censorship and hacking dispute became adiplomatic sore point in Sino-U.S. relations.
After months of quiet wrangling with Beijing, Google alteredits main Chinese-language search page so that inquiries areredirected to a site in Hong Kong.
That means Google searches from within China are stillcensored by the government's "Great Wall" of Internet filters,but the company no longer plays a direct role in thatcensorship.
