Presumably the Germans / French had a lot less to lose with a failed search engine, whereas the Chinese stand to lose control of the next medium of communication.

I'm sure in the minds of many of the people planning this, the idea is that the internet is just the latest iteration of communication technology (like the newspaper, TV, etc), and as such the government should have a significant presence there in the same way as it does with The People's Daily and CCTV.

Ah, sorry, you're absolutely right. I watched the movie in German, never for a second thought they would have translated the title for the English release.

It's pretty obvious they would have translated the title too.
