The pain of choice Google or will departs farewell to the Chinese market

Google has said it is assessing the viability of its commercial operations in China and may be completely out of the Chinese market. Google revealed that it suffered from a major cyber attack believed to come from mainland China.

Google has issued a statement on its own blog in which it discovered a number of targeted attacks from mainland China in the middle of last December, leading to the theft of intellectual property.

First, the attack was not just for Google, but at least 20 other companies from all walks of life were attacked, including the Internet, finance, technology, media and chemical industries, and Google reminded the companies and cooperated with the U.S. authorities.

Second, Google has enough evidence to prove that the attackers ' target is the Gmail account of the human (to be harmonious) activists, and that according to Google's investigation, the attackers ultimately did not get what they wanted. Only two Gmail accounts were compromised, but only limited data (such as the date of account creation) and the subject of the message were obtained, and the contents of the message were not leaked.

Third, as part of the survey, Google found that a large number of Gmail users in the US, China and Europe, which are committed to the human (or harmonious) rights of China, are often attacked and are intact under Google's protection, but may be poisoned by a user after receiving phishing emails and malicious emails.

Google again mentioned that it had released Google.cn in 2006 to allow more Chinese people to enjoy Google's services, and that Google could tolerate a certain degree of censorship. Google said in 2006 that it would carefully monitor the situation in mainland China, including new laws and restrictions on Google services, and would reconsider its entry into China if it did not think it could reach the bottom line.

Google today decided not to continue censoring google.cn's search results, and in the coming weeks they will discuss with the Chinese government a search engine that does not filter without censorship under the legal framework! If this is not possible, Google thinks that means they are shutting down google.cn and offices in mainland China.

It's a tough decision to make, but Google thinks it's potentially significant, and it's entirely a matter for us headquarters to consider, and it has nothing to do with Google Chinese employees in mainland China, who have been working very hard to google.cn enough success.
