  State media accuses Google of playing politics in China

  Google (GOOG.NASDAQ) was accused Sunday of playing politics by suggesting the Chinese government supported hacker attacks on the website and by trying to export its own culture, values and ideas, Reuters reported. A commentary run by the official Xinhua News Agency concluded that it “is unfair for Google to impose its own value and yardsticks on internet regulation in China.” The commentary also suggests that Google violates international norms by allowing the proliferation of pornographic, violent and other sensitive content and plays down the impact of the firm’s potential exit. “One company’s ambition to change China’s internet rules and legal system will only prove to be ridiculous,” it says. The US internet firm said in January that it may close its Chinese-language search site, saying it could no longer abide by Beijing’s censorship rules. It also said it had been targeted by computer hacks originating from China. The company is expected to clarify the future of its China operations this week.

  Re: State media accuses Google of playing politics in China

  It happens what i forecasted. It is the biggest marketing show by google. Google had no chance on the Chinese market and failed there.
  But what will the poeple remember? Google is fighting like a knight against the Chinese censorship. And everybody, the German media in first row, feel sympathy with Google.
  That' s nonsens. Google's strategy failed in China. Baidu is the biggest search machine in China. Nobody is using google.
