China says, "I'm afraid of Google."



China pressured Google to censor its internet searches last year. The American Embassy said that China is currently very obsessed with Internet Search Company, because they were googling themselves. China’s top ruling body, Li Changchun googled himself and found several critical remarks about him. This founding and the shock that followed made China to pay attention to it. Since there were many other critical remarks about Chinese government, China is trying to pressure Google to have strict censorship by pressuring the United States through attributing the responsibility if China was attacked by outsiders. Another ludicrous fact is that vast hacking operations were suspected to be originated in China. It can be interpreted in a way that China had hacked web sites deliberately to find out negative ideas about the Chinese government. Even China actually demanded Google to remove sources on subjects like Dalai Lama or the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre. Eventually, it is obvious to say China was trying to Google themselves and hack other web sites in order to find sources defining China nagatively and then try to erase those.
