Assignment 10: Media Ethics/Media Law

The case is China renews Google license, ending standoff involved cencorship in Mainland China

Google has renewed its license with the Chinese government to continue operating in China, ending a standoff over censorship on July,9,2010. People who live in mainland have to click a link to the Google HK site. For some reason, Google has been stopped search engine by the Chinese Government. Now, after renewing of Google’s ICP license, the Google can continue operating in the communist country.
I think that it is more like a political issue because of the censor is narrow in mainland China. I agree that they decide to continue their search engine service because people wherever they live have right to access to what they want to know.
I think it is a best way of talking to government that achieves an agreement of operating in the communist country.
