COME TO CHINA: What Happens

3. Now, what do you
think about the
Chinese

4. American Companies as:
Contributed to the so called
“Great Firewall” in China
Contributed with tips on
user content resulting in
the arrest of 3 Chinese
Censors itself in China, in
order to abide by tight
government control
Who’s the felon: the shooter or the
gunsmith?
6. Denial, or Spin?
…Has not sold equipment meant
to “identify dissidents or hostile
elements”
Apologized, but not for revealing

knowing that those were the
consequences
Revealed that they do not offer
email or blogging service in order
to avoid being censured by the
Chinese government

Yahoo has less than 5% of
popularity as search engine in 447/541

Google have recently boosted its

with China?
9. Let’s be realistic:
China is the country with the largest # of
net user in the world
Human rights advocates small minority
American Corporations participation in
China is positive
Yes, I’m in the
Who’s side are you,
Corporate or Human
corporate side
Rights?
