Microsoft Shuts Down Chinese Blog

Microsoft's Web log service bars use of terms such as "democracy" and "human rights." On the China-based portal of search engine Google, a search for material the Dalai Lama, Taiwan and other sensitive topics returns a message saying "site cannot be found."

Last year, Web portal Yahoo! was the target of criticism when it was disclosed that the company provided information that was used to convict a Chinese reporter on charges of revealing state secrets.

据当地法律法规和政策,部分搜索结果未予显示。
"Some results were removed from this search to meet local regulations"

btw, when searching google.cn from here, i got this in search results on tiananmen:
Eyeballing Tiananmen Square Massacre
Students from more than forty universities march to Tiananmen Square in protest of
the April 26 editorial in the ... Calling for freedom and democracy, demonstrating
students surround policemen near Tiananmen Square in Beijing, China, ...

--- and there are quite a lot results like this.

My first thought was that google gives me different view from that avaliable to chinese, so i took the trouble to go there via a chinese proxy - truth about tiananmen still in results
