I think that free speech is a basic human right, not an American cultural value.

The Chinese government is trying to evoke feelings of xenophobia and fear of cultural imperialism to justify its control of information and muzzling of criticism. In this case, it is a total feint to redirect attention away from a core issue: that an uncensored Google lets you find anything, including "objectionable" information. That's not an American idea. The ability to search for information is a core human right.
