This is a good overview of the issues so far. The inclusion of a link to a Chinese newspaper's reporting of the issue (http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2010-01/13/content_1280408...) was especially welcome, as it was something I hadn't seen before.

James Fallows, The Atlantic, says "For Chinese readers, let me emphasize again my argument that China is not a 'threat' and that its development is good news for mankind. But its government is on a path at the moment that courts resistance around the world. To me, that is what Google's decision signifies."

Well said, and very true.

Hillary Clinton says she "will be giving an address next week on the centrality of Internet freedom in the 21st century"

Too bad about that whole ACTA thing.
