GOOGLE MAY QUIT CHINA

Sunday, January 17, 2010


Its been a hot news on net and media regarding the Google censorship with china.


Google has announced they are considering closing their offices in China and shutting down Google.cn following cyber attacks on the company’s systems.The internet giant said it will no longer censor its Chinese search engine in line with requests from Beijing following "sophisticated" hacking of activists' email accounts.However, in most cases, the accounts were probably breached using malware or phishing scams.

Google reports they detected a highly sophisticated and targeted attack on their corporate infrastructure which originated from China.

Another Reason:

China has the world’s largest internet population with over 300 million web users. The majority use the country’s own Baidu search engine, but Google still holds a 29% market share.China's most popular search engine Baidu said Google wanted to pull out because it had failed to become No1.
A spokesman for Baidu, which has 60% of the market, said: "What Google said makes me sick. If you are to quit for financial interest, then say it."

What ever it is , i suspect that this story will evlve in this coming months.Sooner i'll post a review on what happens if google quits china.


Google Fact:

"Google+China" was the 16th most searched item in the US yesterday, with Haiti and a new university football coach taking the top two spots
