Question: why is google banned in some sites ex. china? why is google banned in some sites ex. china?

Answer: Since China is a communist country and doesn't practice democracy, freedoms are very limited. The government doesn't want the Chinese people to have unlimited information to the rest of the world. If they do, then the people will realize how little freedom they have compared to the US. Also by banning sites, China is banning opportunities for demonstrations/uprisings, which could lead to violence. That could lead to international attention and would cause China to lose face.
