It was despicable. Yahoo will be judged by someone else for what they did. I don't think boycotting will do any good though, they are already floundering.

Perhaps if they didn't, China would just nationalize their access completely (or at least ban Yahoo! for not following the laws of China) and Chinese would get 100% propaganda? It's not a good thing but it is the rules they are forced to play by.

no longer if the chinese language Communist occasion and Peoples Liberation military have something to assert approximately it. The PLA is the worlds greatest status military, with approximately 2.25 million troops under hands. yet this military isn't configured to attack different international locations or maybe to guard borders. it relatively is configured to regulate the inhabitants of China. extremely, it relatively is the gun held to the top of the chinese language human beings, a no longer so diffused reminder that to greenback the gadget is to ask your death. the U.S. fell while the troops in Moscow refused the orders to kill the crowds of protestors. It extraordinarily much befell in China, at Tiananmen sq. in 1989. the 1st troops delivered in were recruited from the community section and did no longer obey orders to fireplace into the crowds. Troops from outlying areas have been rushed in, and the protests overwhelmed. for the reason that that factor a tricky and rapid rule is that troops are continuously transferred removed from their residing house cities to serve their time. Tiananmen sq. scared the chopsticks off the Communist leaders, and that they are making beneficial it is going to in no way ensue back.

"divulging state secrets"
They are called "National Security Laws"
It's about as "illegal" as things get.
Law is there to protect society... national security is there to protect society.. it is pretty linear.
VERY POLITICAL
"sending foreign websites the text of a message from the authorities warning journalists of the dangers of "social destabilisation" from the return of certain dissidents on the 15th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre."
Basically he a member of the press leaked information the government sent him... freedom of the press.. GEUSS NOT.
