why are you sending details of people who question the chinese authorities to the authoritiesn themselves.  i thought you should respect peoples opinions and their privacy.  take a leaf out of googles book who went to court to refuse the USA's governments attempt to get the results from individuals search criteria!!!

LEARN FROM THIS, IDIOTS!!!\n\nYou abuse your freedoms, lie about the government and laugh about abuses.\n\nPlease notice that this is not allowed around the world.\n\nStill think it's funny when someone has his rights trampled upon?\n\nFor Yahoo to do business in China, they have to make compromises.  CHINA IS NOT A FREE COUNTRY.\n\nThose are the rules.  Would it be better to have no Internet in China?  Sometimes you have to compromise.

I am suspicious.\nWhats with all of the personal info??\nAll the emails and phone numbers?\nAccording to your post you are a college educated person.\nAnd you come to yahoo answers for what is obviously a job for an immigration lawyer.\n\nWhat happens when some sympathetic person contacts one of the e mails?\nIs the game on?

Its very unethical; and sadly yes some are going to lable you a racist for asking it.  \n\nHere is the question I would have posed; which is going get them to lable me a racist too I'm sure.  How unethical would it be to order them to stop coming into this country illegally and then shoot if they didn't stop?

I think you are a paranoid and racist dweeb. If you cannot understand the language, then do not assume. Also, do not assume legal status by the language spoken. There are too many examples out there that prove YOU wrong for saying that. Get over your stuck up self.

And you are so much better than they are by stating these things in this crude manner in an open forum?\n\nDo you have the proof to back these allegations up with or is this just your opinion on how things are in China?

I got into a large argument about this with a friend that I soons after made not-my friend.Their seems to be 2 types of people that react to this question in 2 different ways.\n\n1.A large group of people who under all evidence totally refuse to even ponder the question and usually attack the people asking this question of a con-theory/inside job.These people often get very angry and also can become violent about it.There point of view is that this is absurd and that asking such a thing is silly and unfounded.There P.O.V is accepted and they have the right to say what they want,just as I have a right to ponder if it was an inside job.BUT-They seem to want to outlaw or "Silence" people asking this question.They are hyocrites because under the guise of there supposed "Patriotism"they forget that patriotism in itself is partially based on the right to question the goverment you live under.Also they compound their hypocrisy by becoming violent about the actual right of someone to ask a question about the goverments possible role in corruption.\n\n2. The open minded person who is also a patriot but just has reservations about their government and wantss to understand factual things about a national event that don't correspond with what the government told us happened.This person is NOT a communist,NOT a "Conspiracy theorist,NOT crazy,and most importantly just a loyal citizen wanting to know the truth.

Yes I am quite aware of what happened, but I am not aware of what happened after; you wrote, "treatment and subsequent charges levied against".  What exactly happened to her after her display?\n\nAnyway I very much detest the current Chinese regime, but I am not sure that the way this woman went about sharing her views were exactly appropriate.  It is difficult to say that since the Chinese (and Bush administration) are the inappropriate ones. But she snuck into a press conference, posed as a reporter (she may actually have been a reporter), and stood up and started ranting about the atrocities against the Fallong Gong.  \n\nI think she did a great thing, but she must also assume the responsibility for "trespassing" during a delicate diplomatic conference.  There is more going on then just "public display of solidarity between the American and Chinese leaders" as you put it.\n\nCurrently there are many tensions between are two countries.  China's tying the Yuan to the dollar.  Chinese using American high-tech firms for clamping down and jailing dissidence. Etc.\n\nThe Chinese are a difficult bunch to communicate with, you have to tip toe a bit.\n\nI don't like Bush at all but he is all we got right now for dealing with China, and I hope some progress is made.  We don't want more tensions between the US and china .  We already have enough as it is.\n\nDo you know that we have spy planes that fly up down and all around china?  What if China went into Taiwan, would America stand up for Taiwan?\n\nIt goes on and on.\n\nBut I am curious as to what happened to the woman.\n\nHave you heard about the guy at the Bush rally during the last presidential election, that had a "no blood for oil" sign?  He was arrested and jailed for months, just for a sign!  He may still be in prison for all I know.\n\nGod I hate Bush.

Dear Min wu,\nYour pertinent question and urgent curiosity has unfortunately, been buried under more legitimate concerns. If you don't get an answer within 24 hours, it is best to delete your query and ask again.\nMin wu, I would like to take this opportunity to express my personal opinion. You have been foolish, Min wu. Very, very foolish. Anyone can see that the purpose of Yahoo! Answers is to serve as a modern chatroom. More and more, Java programming is becoming less and less supported, there is no other method of bringing people together in a social environment than to create PHP scripts where the "thinking" can be done on the server rather than on your machine. With that in mind, Min wu, you should interrogate the shallow-minded participants of Yahoo! Answers with matters that appeal to their common denominator. Questions such as, "How long is the normal tally whacker?" or, "My boyfriend says I should dump my hubby, what you think?"..., would get you a substantial number of replies.\nGive up your pursuit of truth and petty wonders, Min wu. Quit asking bland, colorless questions. Are you naive? No person who is capable of giving you the answer you hoped for can last while reading though a heap of puddings, pies and pastry. I'm only doing you a favor, Min wu, by giving you a proper admonishment you can now begin to formulate an apology. When you are ready, send your atonement to http://surveys.yahoo.com/user_ad_feedback \nAnd Min wu, if you insist upon asking serious questions, remember that a few good jolts from a peace officer's tazor should bring you around to your senses. Please, check your spelling and throw some slang into the mix so you don't offend any of the egos lurking, waiting to pounce on you with crass, thoughtless one-liners.\n\nThank you Min wu, and have a great day!\n-Kenny

China is a sovereign nation..they can have any laws they like..and Yahoo has to follow them...\n\nIt is not like Yahoo is trying to clamp down on revolution....\n\nThe problem is the Chinese government..NOT any individual company....

This sounds like a form of email chain letter to me.  It does seem a tad odd that these people think that by sending you a ton of emails that they are going to promote "popularity, Brand Loyalty, Better image", when really what it does is generate spam, anger, and more garbage to delete.  It's like signing up for junk mail.  I bet this is a fake thing and has nothing to do with the real google because of the inconsistencies in capitalization, as in "popularity" and "image", also it should be "large numbers of people" or "a large number of people".  Even the very first line would read better  as "WHY WILL THESE COMPANIES PAY ME?"  Also, look at the spelling of "favour", decidedly not American. So in looking at this, I bet this is a renegade thing originating from somewhere in China (bad translation) and has nothing to do with google at all.  It's Chinese hackers at it again.  A a matter of fact, I would not be surprised in the least if you were to ask google about this if they would deny any association.\n\nOne of the dead giveaways for Chinese garbage is errors in spelling, capitalization, and grammar.  It's also a dead giveaway for Nigerian scams.  Remember, most of everything that comes to you on the internet is either a scam or a fraud.

wow.. thats cause.... if you're seriously interested... you need to know a tremendous amount of stuff.. there is no simple explanation.. read arcticles about china's internal and international disputes from various news websites.. the best way.. BBC, The Hindu, etc..

Because the Chinese govt. has opened its country to foreign capitalist business, and if Yahoo wants to do business in China they must play by the rules that the Chinese govt has set even if it means the good guys get caught. But money is money and that is the bottom line.

That's a good idea they can track the cows right to their stalls.But they wont,that's too smart isn't it?\n\nHere's a question that got deleted by the brave people here.I don't see the violation \n\nIf Democrats win the House and/or the Senate, will it be harder?\nQuestion Details: for the Bush administration to push through so-called free trade agreements and the free-trade-at-all-costs agenda? What do you think ? Do you favor this plan for free trade or not ?\n\nReason of Violation:Chatting & Personal Communications\n\nThats the entire question ,I had closed it and chosen the best answer before someone went back on my questions and reported it.Its very frustrating,but I am just amazed at people.

While I'm not sure on many of the specifics, I do know that google and other major webportals have been criticized for assisting the Chinese governments censorship efforts.  In the end it comes down to money.  With 1.3billion people China is the largest growth market in the world and the company that lands the state contract for whatever service they are pushing will make billions in the long term.\n\nYes it’s perfectly “legal”, China is a sovereign nation with their own laws and civil protections (not sure what these are, guardrails maybe?).  It seems wrong to assist them from a Western ethical viewpoint, at least to me.  Corporations however are rarely moral and seldom very ethical entities, especially when the government isn’t encouraging them to be in the form of huge fines.\n\nRegards,\nArmus

The compensation they receive is that they can actually get people to visit Yahoo! in China. Without that compliance, no one there could visit the Yahoo! site.

I think there is more to the story than what we see here. I don't think the government cares what the most popular searches are, but rather they care about who is actually doing the searching. The site you link to in your update has a note, which states, "that in compiling the Zeitgeist, no individual searcher's information is available or accessible to us. What you see here is a cumulative snapshot of interesting queries people are asking – some over time, some within country domains, and some on Google.com – that perhaps reveal a bit of the human condition."\n\nIf Google doesn't have the individual's information, they can hardly give it to the government, and they are not invading anyone's privacy.

I know what you mean, and I don't think the first idiot to respond is one hundred percent correct.  I report the ones that I find menacing, harrassing, threatening, or totally obscene.  I'll keep a watchful eye.  Watch out for a guy by the name of Hagh or something like that.  He just threatened to nuke the USA.
