Google And Censorship Within China (EDM1487)

Google And Censorship Within China

EDM number 1487 in 2005-06, proposed by Norman Baker on 26/01/2006.

That this House deplores Google's decision to launch a censored version of its search engine in China; believes this can only encourage China to continue its draconian policy on freedom of expression and democracy; and calls on the Government to make clear to the Chinese authorities its strong concern and doubt about China's commitment to bring democracy and freedom of expression to its people in the light of its continued policy to only allow companies that have signed a censorship agreement to run internet-based businesses within the People's Republic of China.

This motion has been signed by a total of 48 MPs.
