_ Home Page News _ Google Defies China on Web

Posted by: abatis

Wallstreet Journal: Google.com.hk tells users, "Welcome to the new home of Google Search in China." Users can search the Web, the Chinese-language Web, the Web in simplified Chinese and Web sites from China. Colored dots point to videos, photos, shopping, maps, music, Google translate and a Chinese-language site called 265.
.Google Inc. stopped censoring its Web search and news services in China, a risky and dramatic act of defiance that could prove to be a pivotal moment in the history of U.S. companies' efforts to do business in China.

Google's move puts its business in one of the world's most important markets on rocky ground, using a strategy that seeks to preserve the company's principles about information freedom while still keeping a foot in the country.
