TAGS ETRD, PGOV, SOCI, SCUL, ECON, CH
SUBJECT: GOOGLE CHINA PAYING PRICE FOR RESISITING
CENSORSHIP; REQUESTS HIGH-LEVEL USG HELP
Ref: Beijing 1206
Classified By: Economic Minister Counselor Robert Luke.
Reasons 1.4 (b) and (d).
Summary
-------
¶1. (C) CDA spoke by phone with Google China
President Kai-Fu Lee on May 14 to discuss recent
pressure by the Chinese government to censor the
company's Chinese website, accelerated perhaps by
the approach of significant political
anniversaries. Lee averred that the root of the
problem was China's Politburo Standing Committee
member and propaganda chief Li Changchun who
wants the company to remove a link to the
uncensored google.com site from its sanitized
Chinese version, google.cn. Lee said Google China
has resisted that step as against company
principles, though it has taken other smaller
measures to try and placate the government. Thus
far that tactic has been unsuccessful, and the
government has already taken commercial steps
against Google, including telling the three
dominant SOE telecoms to stop doing business with
the company. CDA and Lee discussed possible USG
advocacy, including having imminent visiting
Codels and possible Cabinet-level officials raise
this directly. For the moment, Google does not
wish to go public, preferring to see if current
efforts produce results. End Summary.
¶2. (C) At the request of Google China President
Kai-Fu Lee, CDA Dan Piccuta and Lee on May 14
talked by phone at length about the increasing
censorship pressure Google is facing. Lee said
Politburo Standing Committee member and propaganda
chief Li Changchun recently discovered that
Google's worldwide site is uncensored, and is
capable of Chinese language searches and search
results. Li allegedly entered his own name and
found results critical of him. He also noticed
the link from google.cn's homepage to google.com,
which Li reportedly believes is an "illegal site."
Li asked three ministries (note: most likely the
Ministry of Industry and Information Industry,
State Council Information Office, and Public
Security Bureau.) to write a report about Google
and demand that the company cease its "illegal
activities," which include linking to google.com. |
