I love how I know China is embarrassed about something when google news search is "Not working"

Had it happen today. Couldn't do a news search, so I went to BBC and saw this:

If these were legit charges, China would be proud of it and not block the web. When they know they've done something wrong they try to cover it up. It's so funny, they think they're so smart, but they're so fucking transparent it's not even funny.

3. Yup. They have done that

It's strange, they actuallve no problems with that. Or Tunisia. They filtered "Egypt" in Chinese on blog searches and the state media spun it as being US interference, but I think they feel the country is stable enough they can show it.
