Despite his departure from China almost a year ago, Google proudly
displays its special logo for the Chinese New Year's Eve under the
Rabbit sign. It also features the Chinese character 福 (fu), [Happiness]
upside down, whicht is auspicious, according to Chinese tradition.
This logo visible on the Google homepage search engine google.com.hk represents a rabbit
in the traditional Chinese paper cut style.

A rabbit statue in porcelain, 8.20 meter high and 9.6 wide, has been built
in the city of Jingdezhen, China's Jiangxi Province, to celebrate the Chinese
Year of the Rabbit.
The giant statue, - mounted on People's Square - has a metal frame
covered with plates of 30 000 blue and white porcelain.
Since the Song Dynasty, 1700 years ago, Jingdezhen is known as the
"porcelain city".

This year, a New Year-themed cartoon posted on a popular Chinese website seems to have
rankled officials. Censors have deleted the video, in an apparent reaction to its biting political
satire. The message for many is clear: pushed too hard, the Chinese people may one day rise
up and overthrow their Communist leaders.

11:40 this morning: "The Al Jazeera Network strongly denounces and condemns the
closure of its bureau in Cairo by the Egyptian government. The Network received
notification from the Egyptian authorities this morning.
"Al Jazeera sees this as an act designed to stifle and repress the freedom of reporting
by the network and its journalists. In this time of deep turmoil and unrest in Egyptian
society it is imperative that voices from all sides be heard; the closing of our bureau
by the Egyptian government is aimed at censoring and silencing the voices of the
Egyptian people.
"Al Jazeera assures its audiences in Egypt and across the world that it will continue its
in-depth and comprehensive reporting on the events unfolding in Egypt.
Al Jazeera journalists have brought unparalleled reporting from the ground from across
Egypt in the face of great danger and extraordinary circumstances. Al Jazeera Network
is appalled at this latest attack by the Egyptian regime to strike at its freedom to report
independently on the unprecedented events in Egypt."

Al Jazeera has received widespread global acclaim for their coverage
on the ground across the length and breadth of Egypt.
