San
Francisco: Google Inc. will shift its search engine for
China off the mainland but won’t shut it down altogether, and it
will maintain other operations in the country. It’s an attempt to
balance its stance against censorship with its desire to profit from
an explosively growing Internet market.
On Monday afternoon, visitors to Google.cn were being redirected to
Google’s Chinese-language service based in Hong Kong. The page said,
according to a Google translation, “Welcome to Google Search in
China’s new home.”
Google’s attempt at a compromise could resolve a 2 1/2-month impasse
pitting the world’s most powerful Internet company against the
government of the world’s most populous country.
Google plans to keep its engineering and sales offices in China so
it can keep a technological toehold in the country and continue to
sell ads for the Chinese-language version of its search engine in
the US
But Google is still taking a risk. The revolt against censorship
threatens to crimp Google’s growth, particularly if taking the stand
prompts the Chinese government to retaliate by making it more
difficult for the company to do business in the country. The ruling
party, for instance, could use its filters to block people on
China’s mainland from connecting with Google’s Hong Kong-based
service.
On Jan. 12 the search company vowed to shake loose from
government-imposed restraints on the Internet after determining that
Google, along with more than 20 other US companies, had been
targeted in a wave of computer hacking attacks originating from
China.
The attackers also tried to pry into the e-mail of human rights
activists opposed to the ruling party’s policies, according to
Google. That raised the specter that the Chinese government or its
agents played a role in the espionage, although Google never made a
direct accusation.
Despite its outrage, Google had hoped to persuade the Chinese
government to let it run a search engine that could deliver
unrestricted results. Failing that, Google wanted to find enough
common ground to maintain its research center and sales team in the
country — an objective that was apparently achieved after the
company navigated the labyrinth of ministries in China’s government.
The prospects for a truce seemed remote at times because China’s
communist leaders publicly did little to conceal their indignation
at Google’s defiance.
“In the view of the Chinese government, censorship is a
nonnegotiable issue,” Nicholas Bequelin, a senior Asia researcher
for Human Rights Watch. “They’re never going to go back on this.”
Earlier Monday, China’s state-run Xinhua news agency launched a new
broadside against Google Inc on Monday, saying in an angry
commentary that the company had reneged on promises to abide by
Chinese law.
Xinhua, in a signed commentary, said Google had promised when it
entered the Chinese market to filter its search engine for “harmful
content,” in accordance with the law.
“Now Google suddenly wants to break its promise, and if it’s not
satisfied it will criticize China for a worsening of the investment
environment,” Xinhua said.
The burst of angry Chinese comments suggested that, in spite of the
widespread popularity of Google among educated Chinese, the
government is steering state-run media and websites to lump the
company together with other recent disputes with Washington that
have stirred nationalist rancor in China.
