Following up on recent goings on in China, Google has written a blog post on their official blogspot detailing their plans for their presence in the country.
According to David Drummond, Corporate Development and Chief Legal Officer, recent events, including the allegation that attacks originating from China were logged gaining regular access to Human Right activists connected with China, and also ongoing attempts to block access to many popular social media websites has given Google reason to remove the censoring of its products.
They have achieved this by redirecting all visitors from google.cn to Google Hong Kong (google.com.hk).
Google have expressed that doing so is entirely legal and hope China respects their actions, however we all know this is far from over and await China’s response and actions on the matter.
If you want to keep up to date with which Google services are blocked in China, you can visit Google’s monitoring tool which details which products are blocked from Chinese viewing (http://www.google.com/prc/report.html#hl=en).
So what do you think about this ongoing dispute? Is Google in the right for wanting to provide uncensored search to China? Or do you feel that China is in the right for wanting to maintain a strict control over opinion in their country?
