Don't worry - Goolag, which influenced the 2018 midterm elections in favor of the Demokratzis, is currently suppressing information at the behest of the Chinese dictators.

Much as they'll do here if they manage to help the Nutzi Party get back into power.

Unless, of course, "something" happens to them... ;-)

It took them until only recently because they thought bing was actually Chinese.

I can also confirm this. This is a bother, but not critical. I use “Search Encrypt” and don’t have a problem at all. I haven’t used Google in years, and not because it is banned. DuckDuckGo is also banned.

Of course, you can tunnel out using a VPN and get it, but why bother?

Chinese trying to exercise total control of the narrative. No free speech for them.

I use bing.... not prejudiced like google. The Chinese commies like google which accommodates them.

A few years ago while in Hong Kong I tried to access "google.com" on the hotel's wifi system.All I could get was "google.cn with "cn" being the national "extension" for China. Curious...I decided to check something I had read about so I searched "Tienanmen Square".Unlike here where you get thousands of photos of dead and dying students being carried off by their friends all you get there are photos of a peaceful,serene place with a benevolent Mao Tse Tung smiling down at you.

So what I had read was true...China does seriously censor the internet.

I wasn't surprised.
