The show notes included:
"This week some members of congress harshly criticized Google, Yahoo and other American tech companies for bowing to demands from the Chinese government to censor Internet content, and in Yahoo's case for providing personal information on dissidents. In the U.S., the debate is how tech companies can access the world's biggest market without doing harm. It's a different dilemma for the Chinese government."
I hope you enjoy this podcast!
Best regards,
