Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) made a threat to China which does not have a precedent in the actions of any other US company. It threatened to pull its business from China due to potential cyber attacks on its online operations.
The actions appear to have been against the company’s e-mail service-GMail. Google said it would stop censorship of its search results as a result of the attacks. Google has cooperated with the Chinese government on a certain level of keeping some results out of the hands of the country’s citizens.
The FT took a different view of the story saying Google would be forced out of China if it continued to attack the government there.
