In a sign of escalating tensions between
the Chinese government and search-engine
giant Google, the Chinese government has
warned Google s Chinese partners that
they must comply with government censorship laws, even if Google chooses to
cease censoring its own databases.
The warning comes as yet another entry in
a series of events stemming from Google s
January revelation that it had been the victim of numerous cyberattacks from Chinese sources.
The Chinese government
has repeatedly denied any involvement
with the attacks, but Google was not convinced, and announced plans to cease censoring search results on its Chinese site, in
flagrant violation of Chinese government
censorship laws.
Two months of negotiations between the two parties have yielded
no results, making it increasingly likely
that Google will ultimately have to close
down its Chinese site (google.
cn).
