Please provide examples of US citizens who have never been to China being abducted by the Chinese for searching the wrong thing. Or is this just your own delusion?
"Oh," but you might be tempted say, "that wasn't just for a Google search! And many of those who are citizens elsewhere? Like the Chinese government, I don't believe that citizenship is valid." You will of course understand that the parent poster did not phrase the matter in those specific terms, and that in any event this is not a comfort.
Google may have more of an opportunity, but Beijing has a stronger motive.
