the google searching technology is a joke. It only gives lossy searching results. On the contrast, Baidu understands me better.

There is a story buzzing around the web today that China is blocking access to all three major U.S. search engines. Visitors are not being blocked, but rather are being redirected to China’s top search engine, Baidu.
Guess what? That is cheating. …

Why would it happen in SA?

The whole world comes to the US to study (even Europeans); they got the most dough, the best teachers, and the most resources.

RE: the story:

I’ve seen NOTHING of this in either the Taiwanese (where I am) news nor any of the China centric blogs I follow. Fake, fake, fake.

As for Baidu, if your into finding free .mp3 of Asian pop music, or Chinese script search, it is fantastic.

Google.cn goes blank if users input any potentially sensitive words, well, that isn’t anything new, but what’s amazing is that when I searched “17th Big” (17th national congress of people’s republic of china), google.cn stopped the service and let no one make a search on it. weird.

I’m chinese I was out for a few days so I can’t say what happened, but right now I can visit google and all other search engines without seeing any problems.

Yes china has lots lots lots of problems, but just like a human, s/he grows up from a baby, no one is always doing things right, your mom also tells you not to do this and that, everyone makes funny mistakes before s/he become an adults.

I also am disappointed with tons of places of my country, but it’s our home, we born in here, which was not our fault… God bless all of you, when you open your mouth and say “chinese are stupid, chinese this, and chinese that”, think about there are so many chinese people reading what your saying, it’s not ethical to blame on us because if you have ever travelled here in Beijing, you will see how people here are friendly to you…

I’ve been reading techcrunch for a long time.
I always see this Duncan Riley Gauy posts something about China.
I’m wondering if you are in the department of china market’s editor team? If this is the case, I would suggest you to come over here and have a deep investigate at the chinese IT market first. Otherwise, post less ‘articles’ with your sentiment, give us more ‘reports’ with numbers and reference. Btw, i did not hear anything about this in China, but from the western bloggers!

I dont like baidu, too. I’ve been living in the US for many years, and I like google.

There have been too many Taiwan merchants deprived of everything owing to deceit of China. They take your know-hows and techniques first and throw you out later.

(please delete my last comment, thanks.)

Let’s not assume that these reports are lies just as we shouldn’t assume the redirects to be malevonent and intentional. Just because many of us haven’t experienced it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen before or to other people.

I find it slightly easier to find connectivity here than in San Francisco…because many cafes and restaurants, not just Starbucks, provide free access. And, of course, the hundreds of Starbucks here work just fine.

I connect from taxis sitting in the terrible rush hour traffic on the freeway overpasses….jams are on a par with the San Francisco Bay Area jams, but once in a while it stays stopped for five or ten minutes, while the Bay Area usually gets moving after five.

I did have a problem with connectivity yesterday…as I do every day in Silicon Valley. With the astounding number of servers and routers in today’s Internet, and the astonishingly fragile software on many of the servers, it isn’t startling when a simple misconfiguration causes problems.

As L Z points out, the “Internet” is a huge, buzzing, interconnected, interdependent system built from flawed, fragile, imperfect parts. That’s the point of the Internet protocols: build a reliable system from unreliable parts. Most of the time. And those that don’t understand this are unable to think clearly about events that occur in a networked world.

Things do heal. And if they don’t, route around them. The Internet is triage.

As one of the world’s largest ISP’s once told me, “Problems? The nightmare of Microsoft PC’s connecting to my network, with unprotected routing tables, arbitrary code propagating viruses, and uninformed people with too much time on their hands trying to play cyberwarrior is enough. I don’t need to presume that anyone is acting in an evil way to explain what goes wrong. Simple incompetence is enough.”

And on that note, there certainly are a large number of uninformed people with opinions about China.

From the point of view of a large, very high tech company with a current roster of five hundred engineers in a research center in Beijing, and with plans to double the number in the next year, our technical, scientific and commercial future is deeply involved with China. We need the world’s smartest, most competent, most informed people. That’s how we innovate and grow.

We try to design to improve, and find paranoic and jingoistic sentiments quite counterproductive.

It is always useful to point out to those not involved with science and technology that sixty percent of the advanced degrees in science and technology in the United States go to people not born in the United States.

The United States is enormously dependent upon the talents of people from every country in the world. That’s what made the United States, that’s what will sustain us as global competition grows, and that is our challenge: to continue to attract the world’s smartest people to work with us to innovate, to research and develop, and to create new businesses.

And “L Z” is correct — the firewall is not a single entity. Like all government/enforcement stuff in China, it is passed down to the local level and implemented by the ISPs. For example, when I was traveling in China last year, a hotel here in Changsha would allow Wikipedia, but my hotel in Beijing would not. Similarly, now that I live in Changsha, I have a different ISP, and it indeed does not allow Wikipedia, while that hotel across town did.

These things fluctuate over time, as well. Some days Blogger is blocked, some days it isn’t. Wikipedia is blocked 90% of the time, but occasionally it isn’t.

Is it possible there is a coordinated, economically-driven effort to stamp out Google/Yahoo/Live/etc in favor of a local company? Absolutely. But is it consistent or thorough? Nope. Will it last a day, or 10 days, or years? Who knows.

(En inglés) China ha declarado la ciberguerra a Estados Unidos al redirigir el tráfico de buscadores como Yahoo!, Google y Live (motor de Microsoft) a su buscador local Baidu. Al parecer dicha acción podría estar motivada por la medalla que le ha c…
