From the Financial Times: “The Chinese government’s decision to block access to Google’s English-language news service is a reminder that, even in cyberspace, realpolitik rules.

Saudi Arabia, Iran, North Korea, Syria and Vietnam all maintain restrictive controls over the internet, according to Reporters Without Borders, a Paris-based pressure group.”
