Planned Security attack on Google and other companies, May lead to cease Google's China operation

Yesterday, Google on its blog mentioned that it faced security attack in mid-December. And, some other organizations from different fields were targeted. Google tracked these attackers from China seeking gmail account information of some Human Right Activists of China. As blog mentioned These attacks were not as successful as it is intended to be. Google thinks that further restrict free speech on web for Chinese people. So, Now they will talk to Chinese officials to see how Google.cn can provide uncensored content to the people of China without violating Chinese laws. If there is no way out then Google may cease its Chinese operation Google.cn .

Some comments on Techcrunch says that Google is very far behind some Chinese search site Baidu.com. on Alexa's Top sites, Baidu.com comes 8^th and Google.cn comes 15^th in the list. Baidu.com comes above Twitter and Myspace and many more. So, that lead to one another conclusion that Google may be tricking readers to get some extra market in China.

Whatever, may be the cause now Google cannot take a back from what they had done. If they

not backed what they write then it will definitely tarnish its image of good boy. But, if they not backed out and stop china operations that will hurt because China is very large market to any of the company and specially for Google.

Only, time will tell what is the behind the scene story.
