The Great Firewall is designed to reduce the amount of foreign traffic. It's not surprise that bing was subject to this just like Google was.

Was a matter of time. Microsoft jumped through hoops to try and have Bing allowed but it's never going to be enough I suppose.

Why would they though? I honestly doubt a lot of people in china would actually use it. I think they would prefer Google or some other search engine like Baidu.

How the chinese people still accept their submission to this evil empire is mind blowing, they have many educated people now

Brainwashing them obviously.
There was a story in the news here not to long ago about how they ..pretty much indoctrinate Muslim people to become proper Chinese citizens.

Hardly declaring war, more like filtering unwanted traffic

Microsoft is the most advanced and legal spyware, no doubt that China declared war on it... the amount of data taken by microsoft from his users is ridiculous

I can't believe anyone would be surprised by this.
