How will they survive without youtube?

There are several youtube clones in China ATM that have no restrictions on posting copyrighted materials (they do censor stuff a per chinese government policy though).

Basically, even if youtube were in china, people wouldn't use it simply because the chinese clones of it offers free moving, etc on top of the stuff normally in youtube.

Exactly what I was thinking.
I thought google.cn would be blocked also, as you mentiones that in a past article. But a world without youtube is unimaginable to me now.

I bet you the moment they banned youtube in China productivity went up 30%.

Sure we can, all that needs to be done is change who's elected to office in sufficient numbers that will change the policy.

Say what you will about the Chinese Gov., but they have managed to control an unreal number of people and make money like no one in history. This is without considering the Trillions owed to them by other countries. They also are not just resting on their laurels. The Russian shipyards are working 365 building new warships, these will include aircraft carriers, for the Chinese. They also are building their Air Force. Again with Russian equipment. Don't kid yourself, Russian aircraft are a match for anything the west can produce but the Russians produce far more of it far cheaper. Hitler learned this the hard way with tanks. China is a world super power and will continue growing in strength because the West will continue to open their wallets for goods made in China. So they will continue to censor and do whatever it takes to keep control of the people as it is working just fine for the Government, not so much the people though, much the same way corporate America works. I love America as well, but dread seeing, America*.

Google no longer has to worry about censoring material. Now china is responsible for blocking material. Smart play by Google and cost saving to boot

Won't happen. The government that robs Peter to pay Paul will always have the support of Paul.

This morning's Wall Street Journal article made it sound like China blocked Google's Hong Kong site and google.com.
