Google's future in China uncertain

Postby dedanna1029 » 26 Mar 2010, 04:40

Beijing — Reuters Published on Thursday, Mar. 25, 2010 9:01AM EDT Last updated on Thursday, Mar. 25, 2010 6:31PM EDT

Google Inc.’s(GOOG-Q562.885.551.00%) business ties in China unravelled a little more amid a widening backlash to the U.S. Internet company's decision to move its Chinese search engine offshore in a challenge to the country's online censorship laws.

While Google's stand is winning it praise in the U.S. and other countries, it's threatening to turn the company into a pariah in China.

I'd rather be a free person who fears terrorists, than be a "safe" person who fears the government.
