The Guardian's article reflected how Sergey felt one year after the debut of Google.cn. I hope this clear up any confusion.

The Guardian’s article reflected how Sergey felt one year after the debut of Google.cn.

I hope this clear up any confusion.

I think you've gone ahead and done a great thing by pulling these two quotes and looking at them carefully. I won't lay any judgements down on the paper of record, but I do wonder if this is a normal thing for them. The Google case is much more financially technical than people give it credit for being.

The situation on universities can be slightly different from the rest of China, but it is nonsense to say that Google was 50 percent of the time unavailable. Now, whatever they decide, it will only be symbolic, since the Google services are very well available (even able to circumvent the recent problems with the telecommunication cables), Earlier news suggested that very few people are using Google.cn anyway. Why would you if you have also Google.com at hand? I agree that they do not seem very well informed, Andrew.
