Google Chinese news have double standard?
Google News Chinese editon have double standard which depending on your locations, you may get totally different result by searching same keyword when you are at Chinese Mainland or overseas, It seems like Google news sources didn't include some forbidened website (such as DaJiYuan) if the search ones are inside China.
Let's begin our search at http://news.google.com/nwshp?hl=zh-CN&gl=cn, I simulated the oversea environment by using a Canada proxy, and my search keyword was "蒋品超" which is name of a Chinese poet who lives in USA. In this case, I got 4 search result (see figure.1), then I opened Google News without proxy and searched for the same keyword "蒋品超", what happened? Zero result returned (see figure.2), so it's all clear now, Google truly distinguish its costomers to different groups with different search reslult by their location.
![]() | ![]() |
| Figure.1 Searching outside China | Figure.2 Searching inside China |
* Note * Do not search the high profile keywords like Falun Gong or "religious freedom" if you are inside China, they will trigger the Great Firewall in China and disconnect you from Google or the proxy you are using.
If you triggered the keyword blocking, you can try to find another proxy or change your IP by redialing to Internet.
