Detailed news here. Man this really sucks. Even biggies like yahoo and MSN have signed the agreement. Google already  has been a follower of Chinese government. From time to time we always see that big corporate always bend backwards and forget their civic responsibilities, when it comes about survival or making money.

However may be the only way to survive in Hardliner government of China is to obey its rule. If you do not obey the rule, they can bar you, the way they barred Google some time back. So may be a better strategy can be wait and watch and keep your presence there hoping that one day democracy will come in and government will stop ruling over public. I had seen from my past experiments that governments (not specifically china but all) tend to believe that they are supreme to everything. Power makes people corrupt and they forget that it is the people who ultimately are their strength.

Heck the modern time Human civilization is all about sharing the free ideas and if a government puts a ban on it, then they are not doing their job properly.
