Google may be shutting down Google.cn and closing it’s offices in China
Companies higher ups have decided to review theire policies in China. As known since 2006 Google has launched it’s Chiniese version Google.cn to match the countries Internet laws, and it was decided that if in the current sircumstances it will be impossible to provide the population of China with open Internet and open information the work in PRC will be reviewed. And this is what actually happened. Google claims that in mid december there have been a lot of cyber-attacks from China, aiming to steal intelectual property of the Company. Mostly these attacks were aimed at getting access to Gmail accounts of chiniese activists and people bringing up the people rights question in China as well as people from other countries with the same tahoughts. With this the search giant announced that it’s work in PRC will be reviewed, as it no longer is going to keep censore on their search engine in China. In the next few weeks they will be discussing how may Google work without results filtering with the government of China, if it will tend to be impossible , the Google.cn will be shut down, as well as probably Google offices in China.
