This was particularly strong wording on China's part. Anyone want to bet what actions follow up the words?

I don't believe that China doesn't care about Google leaving. I think, despite the party line, they are reluctant to ban access to Google outright because of the symbolism it would bear to the Chinese technorati. But then again, I've never been to China so what do I know.

Chinese government is the most vocal voice when it comes to the independence of Internet from America to UN. But it has unbelievable censorship on its own Netzens.

Communism wants the world to only understand its ideologies and get criticized for not being communists. Its like "heads" I win and tails you "loose".
