China x Google

• 2 Gmail accounts were invaded by hackers
• Houndreds more were invaded by spyware and viruses placed in user's computers
• Only human-rights activists were affected by this well organised attack
• Many other companies were also damaged but their names haven't been made public yet
• Because Google believe it migth have been sponsored by China's government, they made the subject hit the headlines so they can appeal for political and diplomacy to fix the problem

What the Chinese people say about this:

Chinese people on China's own Web site! - Some say Google leaving will open space on the Web for companies that respect the country's laws.

This is an incredibly brave decision! This humiliated the Chinese government. - Interesting the oriental culture: Brave decision to leave? Cute, but unfortunate.

Which side are you?

To me the answer is easy: Google is the right one. Not many of you lived in a country with censorship and dictatorship, it is bad! Here UK, if you think the government is wrong you vote for someone else for the next term. But for long time in Brazil that wasn't the case and people were being killed for questioning that. It is easy to take part on this legal battle because who wants to live being told to 'shut up' every time? And if the government was paying people to break your business apart and spoil your credibility? This 2010, not 1020!

Battle result

China will win the battle within it's borders, but the enemies of the 'free world' aren't gonna rest until that country become at the world's reach. Good luck Google, I'm even more fan of this company.

American issue

Google is from the US, but was built by foreigners. British, Indians, Chinese and Brazilians are among them, it is 'ours'.
