you'd have to find the original article/story that they've censored and then check it out on the chinese internet to know that.  \n\nit's pretty creepy though - a bit like Winston working for Big Brother to change the past and people's perceptions.  eugh.

Is he guilty?  If he's still in jail from 1979 - it must have been pretty heinous.  I vote you leave him there until he's finished serving his time.

They do not allow free discussion of its people.  They are concerned that the democratic movement would use the internet to create widespread interrest in democracy and challenge their control of the Chinese people.\n\nAny companies that operate in China is subject to its laws.  Google and Yahoo are operating in China and is being forced to follow its restrictive laws.

Yahoo! justified providing Tao's personal emails to Chinese police by arguing that it was only following local (Chinese) laws since the emails were stored in servers in China. \n\nHowever, Many ask why Yahoo! uses servers in China knowing that it will be legally obliged to disclose private information of its    email service users to the government, which may lead to its email users being jailed as was the case with Mr. Tao.\n\nWhether this was morally justified, I leave this for you to judge!

Jerry Chih-Yuan Yang (Traditional Chinese: 楊致遠; Pinyin: Yáng Zhìyuǎn; born November 6, 1968) is the Taiwanese American co-founder of Yahoo! Inc. He is one of two Chief Yahoo!s, board director and a former executive of the company. His net worth in 2005 was US$2.6 billion.\n\nBorn in Taipei, Taiwan, Yang moved to San Jose, California when aged ten, with his single mother (Lily) and younger brother (Ken). His father had died when Yang was two. He claimed that despite his mother being an English teacher, he only knew one English word (shoe) on his arrival. Mastering the English language in only three years, he was soon placed into an AP English class.\n\nYang received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from Stanford University, where he was a member of Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity. Yang was recently named to the Stanford Board of Trustees. He co-created the Yahoo! Internet navigational guide in April 1994 with David Filo and co-founded Yahoo! Inc. in April 1995. Yang married Akiko Yamazaki, a Japanese American raised in Costa Rica. She is an anthropologist.\n\nIn 2005, Yahoo! was criticized for identifying Chinese dissident journalist Shi Tao to Chinese authorities, resulting in his receiving a ten year jail sentence. Yang commented that "To be doing business in China, or anywhere else in the world, we have to comply with local law." Whether Yahoo! was legally obliged to reveal the information is a matter of dispute.

The original name chosen was "www.yeeeeehaaaa.com", but that sounded too redneck-like. Next choice on the list was "www.google.com", but that domain was apparently already taken by a couple of pimply-faced teenagers who are probably jobless and homeless right now (if not already in jail). Upon hearing of the other guys' legal problems, the creators of this site gleefully exclaimed "YAHOO!!!" and they all high-fived each other just as a janitor was passing by the boardroom where this meeting was taking place. The janitor, still hung over from consuming a gallon of gin the previous everning, poked his head in the boardroom and said, "Yahoo? What the hell kinda name is THAT for a website?" And the rest is history. Sort of. :)

Unfortunately, due to the recent flash of facism these days, he will receive a completely unorthodox amount of time behind bars or probation.\n\nAll you can hope is that the people involved in his case are not a bunch of assholes and will either give him his first offence warning or maybe rehab.

Yahoo is an international site - which President are you referring to?

YES!!! Google just went to all kinds of trouble to be active in China. You will most likely not only get arrested, you will just disappear and never be heard from again. Go, enjoy, learn, return, then write. Don't try it there. I do quite a bit of business with China and you better know what you are saying or signing (when it comes to contracts etc.) be very careful of what you have on your computer. It can be confiscated at any time, with or with out your knowledge.

The imprisonment is about 6 months to 12 years depending upon the evidence presented and the defense adopted by your friend's husband.  The crime commited is already a grave offense because it involves fraud.

well they are a communist nation, and censorship is what communists do. impure communism is corrupt and the ruling group still feels it needs to crush dissent. if the chinese government allowed uncesored blogs and search engines, the people would organize and overthrow the communist regime. china is just trying to hold to to what will soon be an extinct form of government.
