the following were my comments to this NYTimes' article. i don't know if they have ever shown up yet.(i cannot check it from my computer.) if anyone can see it, let me know.

-----------------
Yes I cannot deny my disappointment with those Chinese who posted here
accusing Google and the U.S. for intruding our China's internal policy. i am
not just disappointed, but in despair.
Google is only talking about providing more choices
for us: freedom of speech itself is neutral, not the West value-oriented. It
just provides us more alternatives to think and choose.
And we are deprived of our basic human rights to get informed and to express
. how can trying to gain this right back ever be an action to harm us? It has nothing to do with hurting our national pride or self-esteem. The Chinese
government is not identical to our Chinese people; they are not our inherent
parents, or savior or master whose shame is also our shame. No. All shame
stays with this government only, not us.
Vanity is indeed the stupidest sin, but the most powerful one. Therefore, it
is the best tool for brainwashing.
-------------------
it is bullshit for someone trying to represent the whole Chinese population to say we don't care about the censorship. My friends in China all hate it. Since it is not only blocks those general demands for democracy and human rights, it also blocks all local news which have everything to do with our everyday life - wrongdoings of the local governments, the corruption of government officials or industries' leaders (they usually form a tie to work together): such as severe pollution, unduely selling out previous state-owned factories on a radiculous low price to someone who bribed the government, forcing house owners to sell their houses on a price which is fixed by the estate company who also works with the local government.. and so forth. People demonstrate, protest on their blogs and bbs, but all those effort lost in the air - no media will report them, then nobody else other than those who is involved know their suffering and so cannot help them.
We Chinese thus in this way are kept isolated and left alone with our agony, and we can never develop a sense of community and start to help each other and change our life together.
Yes, it may be a losing battle for Google or others who strive for our Chinese's freedom to win against a ruthless regime, but we cannot abandon this battle because we are persimistic. that is determinism. and one effort is better than none: one more person gets rid of the control of the brainwashing and we are closer to the light. it is just time for sufficient Chinese to become fully aware of the untolerableness of their slavish living condition and start to think to change it.
Enlightenment can never occur over night. It may take hundreds of years, but let's start today, and one step at a time.

: 很高兴看见这里朋友的回帖。
: 说实在的，这几天发现自己在经历一种转变。就是变得更加的悲观。可能过去我在中国的同学，都还有些头脑，大家讨论事情还可以有些共鸣。到美国这边，开始几年没有怎么和周围的朋友交流政治。在mitbbs 看见五毛，但是也遇见少数老将，所以虽然悲观，还是有些希望。不过后来逐渐开始和周围的人交流了，竟然，竟然没有一个和我
