below is a link to the Official Blog of Google. i highly recommend reading it.
i have very strong feelings towards China, and it is sometimes a struggle for me maintain compassion and cultivate wisdom. it is sometimes difficult not become outraged and preach to anyone who will listen.
i wish that screaming, stomping and tears made a difference, but there are more effective routes. :)
i've been watching the spidery cracks of change spread ever so slowly.
when Google first went into China, i understood the argument and took this as just one more step in the direction of future change. with the developments of this week, i've been cautiously thrilled.
though i do not wish ill to anyone, especially not the Chinese employees of Google, i am rather excited to see a company of this caliber stand up to the Chinese government. this could set a precedent.
...and a precedent opens the door even wider to change.
i'll be watching what happens very closely, and i'll remain ever hopeful that one day His Holiness can return to his home in Lhasa.
