Nerds Make Science Fun!

As I’m sure you all have heard by now, Google is leaving China for a multitude of reasons, including Chinese cyberattacks and Chinese censorship of searches. However, to the great amusement of Chinese bloggers, Google has given a final “Fuck You” to the Chinese government in the form of its recommended search terms. Below are some pictures of the results:

If you type in the first half of the word “China”, in Chinese, you get a recommended list of search terms. But since yesterday, the first of these search terms has changed from “China”, to what you currently see. To those of you who can’t read Chinese, the first recommended search term is now “Destruction of the Chinese Communist Party”.

The fun doesn’t stop there:

This one has been removed by now, but yesterday, if you typed in the letter “f” into Google search, the first recommended search term is “free Tibet”. The free Tibet movement has been a pain to the Chinese government for many years, and so it’s no surprise that Google has chosen to do this.

And finally, there’s this:

Look at the second result. I’m sure I don’t need to explain this one. Immature and rascist? A little, yeah. Funny? Definitely.
