Wow this is a big defeat or a big win
"These attacks and the surveillance they have uncovered--combined with the attempts over the past year to further limit free speech on the web--have led us to conclude that we should review the feasibility of our business operations in China. We have decided we are no longer willing to continue censoring our results on Google.cn, and so over the next few weeks we will be discussing with the Chinese government the basis on which we could operate an unfiltered search engine within the law, if at all. We recognize that this may well mean having to shut down Google.cn, and potentially our offices in China."
This is really scary stuff and must have ben super serious if google publicized an attack. That would suck to be the guys working on Google China the last few years only to have it shut down bc of an attack and biz decisions made in the US.

It's a great political move on the part of Google -- basically they are saying "we let you censor the searches fuckers but you kept on doing nasty, so when we caught you red-handed you gotta give in a bit - so no more censoring for you (or some other concessions on part of China).

What the fuck? China expects this pretty web world where your people don't talk shit behind your backs and pornography doesn't infect your kids at home? Whatsup with that?!!!

The American ego doesn't allow for bowing. Next thing you know, we're hunting for weapons of mass destructions, or terrorists and meanwhile digging for oil.

In America, censorship is controlled with money, so therefore America is better.

In China, censorship is controlled with death, so therefore China is better.
