Google Threatening to Leave China Due to Cyber-Attack

This is an article I found regarding Google and its most recent exploits in China. Although the article explained that Google was not the main search engine in China, it is still a considerable investment if they plan to leave.

Many of the Google executives have not felt well about being the censorship program in china than keeps many searchers of google.cn from sites that the government site has banned. So it may seem like a poor economic decision in the eyes of many, to some it seems like the correct moral decision.

The main problem that is foreseen here is that China's economy is growing rapidly and in a very short time it could become a powerful Internet market. If Google closes up shop in China they could hurt their business terribly.

Google has stated that their current reason for leaving is a cyber-attack aimed at Chinese human rights activists with GMail user accounts. The sophisticated attack allowed them to gain access to secure files on many different computer. This is something that Google cannot allow and currently the best way to escape that seems to be to leave the country, at least that is what the Google executives said.
