This is exactly what I said a few weeks ago about Google pulling out. They are the Yahoo of China. Nobody gives a crap about them. People in the US are so ignorant of other countries that they believe whatever narrow-minded nonsense the media tells them. When I went to China 10 years ago, all I heard before going was how tightly censored the web was. Instead, I was able to go to CNN, WashingtonPost, and all my other normal news sites. Facebook is supposed to be banned in China, and yet somehow I'm able to communicate with my Facebook friends in China regularly. And I've never, ever been blocked from them.
