Google to Move Out of China?

Google made the announcement this morning that they will stop censorship in China.
Finally!
This is huge news. That Google is not bowing down to the Chinese government’s censorship anymore, even if that means they need to withdraw from the nation.
This piece of news comes to us in an odd form. It originated from cyber attacks which were assaulted against Google’s GMail product, among other companies within the Chinese borders.
Here is what Google has to say officially,
The decision to review our business operations in China has been incredibly hard, and we know that it will have potentially far-reaching consequences. We want to make clear that this move was driven by our executives in the United States, without the knowledge or involvement of our employees in China who have worked incredibly hard to make Google.cn the success it is today. We are committed to working responsibly to resolve the very difficult issues raised.
There is no doubt in my mind that it was a difficult decision to make. As of Google’s 2008 numbers, China had a popular of 1,325,639,982, which has no doubt grown beyond that today.
That’s a huge population to suddenly not be serving anymore, if the Chinese government does decide to block Google from being access.

That’s insane, but I understand why they have done it. China must understand that you reap what you sew…
