Some people at China desperately want to access Google for a better search experience. Is a 80% percent of Google better than no Google at all for Chinese people? If people is dying and you have the cure with a little bit stains, is the ethical violated if you save people with a imperfect way or just let the pantient to die is a better option?
It is akin to embargo ethics essentially. Technically buying coal from North Korea can help feed the people but by supporting their government you help prolong their power and thus lead to more suffering. It is ethically messy on the right side even.
Similarly by not giving them access to what they know the rest of the world has you breed discontent with the current way of doing things. The culture and thus indirect demand flows regardless of what they do like rock music into the USSR. It also isn't an absolute denial - google would gladly step back into China with no ethical qualms if they abandoned their censorship policies. Their government would find it unthinkable however.
No, because currently they’re forced to use a VPN and see the full thing, which is what most people do because results are way better than Baidu (even in 中文).
People outside China Mainland is hard to imagine the truth behind the news. It's so sad that I have to say the drivers were insane but not totally unreasonable ( Apparently, I'm not agree to what they did or thought ).
In China Mainland, if you drive and hit someone to death, a compensation no more than 15,000 USD will be paid for victim's family. However, if the victim was badly hit the medical expenses could easily reach 15,000 USD and probably beyond 50,000 USD or more. And in that situation, China's terrible medical/car crash insurance can only help a little.
15000? Wow, This is like 3 times more expensive than the "let's forget all about your father killed by our drone by stoopid mistake and take this nice goat" happy tax.
