The House Foreign Affairs Committee on Wednesday posted online the full transcript of its high-profile November hearing about Internet firm Yahoo's connection to the imprisonment of a Chinese journalist.
"Internet users worldwide should have ready access to the committee's public proceedings where Yahoo's complicity in the Chinese repression apparatus is concerned," Chairman Tom Lantos said. "It will serve to remind this company and others always to place privacy rights well above the bottom line."
"Although this one hearing is over, when it comes to scrutinizing the activities of U.S. high-tech companies' activities in China, the case is far from closed," the California Democrat warned. The transcript is available here.
