    Google’s decision to stop helping the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) censor the Chinese Internet is just the kind of peaceful act that made the Berlin Wall come down.

    Google, the world's top Internet search engine, announced Jan. 11 it will no longer censor results on its Chinese-language search engine and may shut its offices in China, because of “highly sophisticated” cyber-attacks on its website and the Gmail accounts of Chinese rights activists. California-based Google said the attacks included theft of intellectual property and also targeted at least 20 other companies in technology, finance and chemicals.

    The Google “incident” could be an omen of the Chinese “Wall” and regime coming down.
