Good morning world, how are you today? I wouldn't know because I can't access anything that ends in google.com

So your words at gmail do not come through.... mail.google.com
Your pictures at picasa have vanished.... picasa.google.com
The news does not show.... news.google.com
I can't search to find a reason or solution.... www.google.com
I would try to find a way out, but there's no maps.google.com
and YouTube, well that's been gone for months.

I think it would be fun if all the countries of the world banned Chinese imports for a couple weeks... randomly... without explanation... with no means of correcting the ban...

I don't know who's worse at this point... the western powers that cower in fear of loosing a few bucks in China, or the Chinese government that embarrases itself by insinuating it's people are too weak to handle the inconvenient truths of the internet.

A pretty sad lot the whole bunch of us.

Cheers
ChinaV
