    Google’s declaration that it would stop cooperating with Chinese Internet censorship and consider shutting down its operations in the country ricocheted around the world Wednesday. But in China itself, the news was heavily censored.

    On the other hand, a short Chinese-language report in Sina.com’s tech section is generating a long thread of comments from people who are unhappy about Google’s announcement because they don’t want to lose access to Google. Somebody has set up a website, http://www.googlebacktochina.com/ with a Chinese header that translates approximately as “Give me back my Google.” Famous tech blogger Keso mourns that Google’s retreat brings the Chinese Internet one step closer to being an Intranet. Sichuan-based dissident Ran Yunfei is also unhappy, likening Google’s retreat to a dissident who leaves China compared to one who stays in China and toughs it out.

      Maybe this will force an intellectual and cultural revolution in China. For once in the history of this planet knowledge pours into our homes through out the world. It’s worth a fight. Now they just walk away and the people get angry. Look at the Iranian people.

      Let-s be clear, google is not abandoning China any time soon,
      this is development is like a boy becoming a man and growing some balls.
      Going were no one has gone before, no one, no goverment up to now has dare to defy China.
      So tonight, let us ask ourselves - if our children should live to see the next century… what change will they see? What progress will we have made?
      This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time - to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace;and reaffirm that fundamental truth - that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people.
      Yes, google, can.
      And we are anonymous, we are legion, we do not forgive we do not forget.
