Google and China

Google and China

Article Excerpt from BBC News:

China has denied any state involvement in alleged cyber attacks on Google and accused the US of double standards.

A Chinese industry ministry spokesman told the state-run Xinhua news agency that claims that Beijing was behind recent cyber attacks were "groundless".

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton this week asked China to investigate claims by Google that it had been targeted by China-based hackers.

The US search giant has threatened to withdraw from China.

"The accusation that the Chinese government participated in [any] cyber attack, either in an explicit or inexplicit way, is groundless. We [are] firmly opposed to that," the unnamed spokesman of China's ministry of industry and information technology told Xinhua.

  1. This has been one of the most interesting diplomatic disputes in recent times. I'm wondering what's going to go down.

    Is Google going to withdraw from China?

    For a company who's motto is "Don't Be Evil," I'm sincerely hoping that they will repent and take the moral high road.
