Will Google stay or leave ?
China, one of the fastest growths in Internet market, earns more than 112.3bn yuan this year from advertising games, shopping and other activities on line. According to the BBC News, Gmail, owned by Google, was hacked by the Chinese government. Therefore, Google will discuss with Chinese authority that the former would like the government to allow Internet users search through its search engine without censorship and threatened that if it could not reach the satifactory agreement, it would not do business in China.
I am of the opinion that Google does not intend to back off its investment in China’s market. Probbably, It would like to advertise its brand by claiming that they are value the freedom of speech and human’s right and can weigh their support from users. Moreover, because China revenue in online market is so substantial that Google may lose a great deal of their income.
