Google Is Leaving China, Jacob Friedman, The Next Web (Mar 13)
Google is likely to leave China - or as the Financial Times reported - 99.9% sure. Google declared it would run the search engine censorship free - and China said no.
"Google CEO Eric Schmidt was quick to emphasize that Google would not be quitting China entirely. “It’s very important to know we are not pulling out of China,” He said. “We have a good business in China. This is about the censorship rules, not anything else.” However, there is a growing fear among other Google executives that backlash from this decision will make staying in the Chinese market entirely untenable."
