New Chinese law may force Microsoft, Yahoo to follow Google out

,----[ Quote ]
| The Chinese government today made sweeping 
| changes to its state secrets law that 
| directly affects Internet companies 
| operating in the country. The amended law 
| goes further to force these companies to 
| help the Chinese Communist Party suppress 
| free speech and censor the Internet.

Lawmaker Blasts Microsoft

,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft came under attack Wednesday from
| a House lawmaker for not following Google's
| lead in resisting China's demand for
| foreign firms to abide by the country's
| censorship rules and Internet restrictions.
|
| During a hearing focused on Internet
| control in China before the Congressional-
| Executive Commission on China, Rep. Chris
| Smith, R-NJ, singled out Microsoft, which
| has said it will continue to operate in
| China and follow Chinese laws. Microsoft
| "needs to get with the program" and "join
| the side of human rights...rather than
| enabling tyranny," Smith said.
