You're not used to losing so this was a real blow for your inflated egos but if you must push it to this extreme, then let's talk more about your lack of respect for human rights when you first went into China. Is Sergey Brin who was born in Moscow and whose family grew up in the Soviet Union honestly telling the world that he had no idea about a regime like China?

Google co-founder Sergey Brin has called on Washington to take a stand against China's censorship of the internet, urging the US to make the issue a "high priority".
Brin, talking to the Guardian about Google's decision yesterday to lift censorship from its Chinese internet search engine, called on government and businesses to act in order to put pressure on Beijing. "I certainly hope they make it a high priority," he said. "Human rights issues deserve equal time to the trade issues that are high priority now … I hope this gets taken seriously."
The Obama administration has been playing down the growing conflict between one of America's most successful companies and the Chinese authorities, suggesting that the relationship between the two countries is "mature enough to sustain differences".
