Internet censorship

Yes, there is a difference between censorship and surveillance, but I would suspect that Google does turn over information to the Chinese government regarding who is searching for what.

Why would you suspect that? Because you like to think the worst of a company that has flouted the U.S. government?

Since China's government likely owns the entire telecommunications infrastructure that allows a computer to talk to Google in the first place it would also be entirely unnecessary to get the information from Google.
