Tech Companies Brace For Showdown Over China
Anne Broache writes on C|Net News:
Technology companies accused of collaborating with China's Internet censorship regime are bracing for what could be a tough round of questioning from politicians this week.
Executives from Google, Yahoo, Microsoft and Cisco Systems plan to testify about reports of their cooperation with Chinese requests before a U.S. House of Representatives human rights subcommittee on Wednesday morning.
Citing scheduling conflicts, none of those companies showed up at a briefing earlier this month. Their absence drew criticism from members of the informal congressional caucus that requested--but didn't have the power to compel--their attendance.
