Something is making the ChiComs nervous.  Danwei is reporting that a search of “China” on Google News from within China produces the following screenshot:

I just checked, and it works from here.  The number two story is about the little old ladies who were sentenced to a year’s reeducation through labor after they applied for a permit to protest, and the number three story is about six Americans being detained for pro-Tibet activities.

But since those would have been caught by the Great Firewall anyway, I’m not sure what’s going on (Danwei isn’t sure either).  I thought at first it might be the underage gymnasts story, but that’s only at number sixteen.

So, readers in China, what’s the deal?  That’s presuming you can still read this.
