		<description><![CDATA[In recent weeks, many in the West, and even some in China, have speculated about the resilience of China&#8217;s authoritarianism. Could what happened in Egypt happen in China? (For some U.S. perspectives, see a Forbes.com article by Gordon Chang from January 30th and a Wall Street Journal article by Loretta Chao from a couple weeks ago.) China is clearly playing it safe as it reacts with force to even the smallest hints of protest this week.

		<description><![CDATA[There was never a chance that the Chinese government would cave to Google&#8217;s demand that it end censorship of search results, as I argued when Google first announced its threat to leave China in January:

For the Chinese government to cave in and begin allowing Google to display uncensored search results is inconceivable for many reasons. Here are two: First, Chinese authorities have long seen a “marketplace of ideas” as incompatible with the long-term maintenance of one-party rule, which is non-negotiable.

		<description><![CDATA[Google&#8217;s decision yesterday to begin reviewing &#8220;the feasibility&#8221; of its business operations in China has reverberated around the world, particularly in the high tech sector. Responding to the hacking of its corporate network and the accounts of Chinese human rights activists, Google is threatening to leave the Chinese market entirely, and says it is no longer willing to censor its search results on Google.cn.
