She just considers from her own profit. I don't think she is objective for google's stand-point. Of course human-right is necessary in a country. But the precondition is that it is a peaceful and stable country. Why don't you ask for human-right in Iraqi, Afghanistan and many other poor, unstable and under-war countries. Because you know it can't realize even if you ask for. I don't mean China's action is right. The only thing I want to say is that maybe you don't realize the truth under what you saw and heard as their Free Tibet Campaign. If you want to break the peace and stability of a country there is no human-right anymore.The only right thing in my mind is that the world can become peace.

Kudos to both this young woman and Google for standing up to the abhorrent tactics of a nation and its brainwashed people. Google doesn't need to do business with a nation that has one of the worst records of human rights violations. Stand tall, be strong, and just say NO to China.

Strange. I can't help but wonder where the first post in this thread actually originated, with its stilted use of English and effort to deflect the real issue of China's human rights record by turning attention to other countries. You just can't be too sure these days, but even if it was written by a MV resident, kudos to Ms. Seldon for drawing attention to a worthy cause.

Good Grief. Why is it that people with the worst English skills are the ones that want to exhibit them. Please folks, get someone who can read and write to edit your Rants

Consider this: if the people who write these comments use exceptional English and powerful phrases, it is harder to notice that they might be trying to hide the truth and sway your opinion with falsehoods. Perhaps the fractured English actually helps you recognize attempts to con.
