It’s too detailed and imagine the size of the country, it’s really amazing and their web-makers/technopreneurs will catch up sooner or later!

I was reading newsweek the other day, and the focal point was on this topic: Google vs China. It goes like this: Google suspect Chinese hackers hacking into their system. However, Chinese officials did not admit. Then Google threatened to pull out of China using censorship issues as an excuse, China kept quiet throughout the whole issue. Then, Google reversed their words and said they will not abandon their computer engineers and staff in China, hoping to continue their operations in China and wants to begin negotiations with the Chinese authorities.

Google vs China? In the long run, I think China doesn’t depend on Google, definitely it will not want be held to ransom by Google. But if Google pull out of China, it could be a wrong move for Google as it will lose its market.

A Chinese scholar described the whole situation very appropriately by saying that “Google has fired an arrow that cannot be drawn back.”

Quite interesting to see how things will proceed. Personally, I think Baidu will be quietly watching this show! It definitely wouldn’t want to be involved. “Let the government deal with it.” One thing is for sure, China will definitely not be held to ransom by Google. That’s how I see it :)
