I read both a Chinese newspaper as well as an American newspaper about this topic and they both have different opinions. The Hindu, the newspaper in China, says that Google was breaking China's laws by not allowing he Chinese people to use the website. For a few weeks now, Google has supposed to have been criticized by the authorities of China, because these authorities accused Google for having links that are being provided along with the search results. These links led to unnecessary material such as pornographic pictures. The China government decided to stop using some of Google's services and they are asking the representatives of the Chinese version of Google to take off the material that was not appropriate to have on the website. There were some Gmail accounts that were attacked Gmail, a e-mail service that is part of Google was blocked all across China. China had a lot of hacking and Google had enough. On Thursday, the website was being accessed by a few people. According to Google, there were many large Chinese companies that were attacked financially , on Internet, media, technology, and chemical businesses. Google is not sure if it is going to shut down the Chinese access to Google. They don't know because even though there are people in China who are creating problems for Google, such as people who are hacking other peoples e-mails, China is about 5% of the worlds population, So any buisness would want to increase their profit and China is makes a big difference. Plus, the Vice President of Google claims that they do not want to not allow anyone from being able to get access to the same information as everyone else. So, they don't know yet if they are going to shut down entirely in China yet because there are many Google users in China but Google does not want to deal with any more trouble. They should try and figure this whole situation out soon though!
