Happy New Year

Well, we're all back work here in Hong Kong now after celebrating the arrival of the Year of the Dog. Happy New Year to you all. Gong Xi Fa Cai!

The year has started here with unusually fine weather which I will happily take as a good omen.

The Chinese Internet is still full of righteous indignation about Google's decision to launch a 'neutered' version in China. Rebecca MacKinnon, whose campaign against the technology industry's complicity with Chinese censorship has been good to watch, has been following closely and taking a moderate line on this having pointed out that Google has, at least, been more open than most about what it is doing.
