Not disallowed, but you should question what the point of critiquing details of other countries' policies unless you seriously favor trade sanctions and all of the suffering they cause.<p>Part of the story we tell ourselves in the US is that our righteous indignation about other countries is reasonable... meanwhile American citizens are raped every day in American prisons and nobody suggests that other nations boycott the Olympics to nudge us toward human rights improvements.<p>Since Obama took power there has been tremendous pressure to harm China's export industry, and Obama did this with his recent tire tariffs.  How do you convince a bunch of entitled Americans that it's reasonable to harm the economic wellbeing of Chinese tire makers (who are quite a lot poorer than any US worker)?  By helping Americans believe that China is morally inferior and thus <i>deserves</i> to be punished.<p>This is the trend that is shaping up now.  Google's move was foolish and plays right into the hands of US warmongers and trade protectionists... also, Google was (at least) showing which results were censored.  Baidu offers the Chinese no such information.
