Google move 'black day' for China
BBC News
Google's launch of a new, self-censored search engine in China is a "black day" for freedom of expression, a leading international media watchdog says.
Reporters Without Borders joined others in asking how Google could stand up for US users' freedoms while controlling what Chinese users can search for.
Its previous search engine for China's fast-growing market was subject to government blocks.
The new site - Google.cn - censors itself to satisfy Beijing.

google.cn is censored, it tells you it's censored, which is better than baidu.com which doesn't tell you.
I do notice it's possible to find this site on google.cn
http://www.google.cn/search?hl=zh-CN&q=truthaboutchina&btnG=Google+%E6%90%9C%E7%B4%A2&meta=
Anyway, who cares? everyone in China uses Baidu.
If you're in China and want to avoid the censorship on google.cn, try google.co.uk
why google.co.uk? is www.google.com censored too?
