Microsoft, a company that made 99% of its billions from citizens of freedom-loving democracies, has banned the words "freedom" and "democracy" from its new Chinese web site in an effort to serve as an accomplice to the Chinese in their supression of human rights in exchange for even more money.

The company was given a list of banned words and phrases or face losing the contract. It's Chinese law at fault not the company.

If thats the case then both MS and Apple should withdraw their business interests from china,see how long the chinese communist regime lasts without computer technology.

You'll probably find that they last quite a while, given that there's also alot of PC manufacturing that goes on within China.

Their human rights record is about up there with Michael Jacksons, but countries are climbing all over themselves to do trade with China because of the size of its market.

Try searching for freedom on Google.cn (I think its cn for their domain prefix) and you'll no doubt come up with the same as any other service there. ie you won't.

The Chinese government filters and controls their internet, anyone coming into that from another society either adapts to their rules, or doesn't come.
