As an American living in China, I feel I am able to comment.

Granted... US companies should not participate in censorship of any kind. THis includes issues related to China, the US government, Iraq, etc.

However... With the glaring exception of wikipedia.com, the "Great Firewall of China" isn't as bad as you might think.

I can't read much Chinese, so I can't comment too much on Chinese langauage sites. But, as far as English language sites are concerned, its really not that bad.
-Some "porn" is blocked, but much is not.
-Some news is blocked, but much is not.
-Some .edu sites are blocked, but much is not.

And... If there is anything you really need to see on a blocked site (wikipedia, for example), there are well-known ways to retrieve the information.

As an American in China, I am more concerned about what the US government is doing/hiding than what the Chinese government and acquiesing US companies are trying to hide.
