It seems that the “fun” between Google and Google.cn is getting “funner”! Google are getting increasingly annoyed at China censoring its website; and the situation just seems to be getting bigger and bigger.

First, it started out with little quips about Google delaying, and then stopping, the import of some of its much loved Android phones to China (have to wonder how many parts of their phones are actually made in China… despite the phones not allowed to be sold there!), and now it seems that the internet giant Google has taken another step in this escalating war – by joining forces with the US to bring in some international trade rules to make censorship of the internet illegal.

This is good news (as I think knowledge should be available to all, and so will make no difference to most of the world), however, I bet China wished it had left Google alone now!
