Internet censorship in China is among the most stringent in the world. The government blocks Web sites that discuss the Dalai Lama, the 1989 crackdown on Tiananmen Square protesters, Falun Gong, the banned spiritual movement and other Internet sites.
In January 2010 ,government adopted this policy to restricts one of the world’s high profile companies ,as Google .announced that this company must stop their operations in China unless its search engine results were filtered .China responded that companies doing business in the country must follow the law .Google closed its internet search service in march 2010 and began directing users in China to its uncensored search engine in Hong Kong .Google attempt to skirt censorship requirements without making any trouble with Chinese law ,it appeared to anger official in China . Weeks later, Google signaled a softer approach to Beijing, saying it had created a Web page that offered users in mainland China a choice, rather than automatically directing them to its Hong Kong site.
