Assessing Google's showdown with China: Does it make sense?
by Larry Dignan
On the surface, Google's threat to shut down its China operations after a cyberattack on its infrastructure looks like sheer business lunacy. How can the search giant give up on the world's biggest growth market? It's easier than you'd think.
我的观点，就象我贴在ZDNet上的那样：
I support google, like always, and I hate Picasa always being blocked by CHN government. But I only have one big question: WHAT IF Osama bin Laden USES GMAIL TO SEND BOMBING MSGS TO EVERY TERRORIST IN THE WORLD? IN SOME ISLAMIC WORLDS, HIS BEHAVIOR SYMBOLIZES "HUMAN RIGHTS". DOES CIA AUTHORIZE GOOGLE TO CRACK THESE ACCOUNTS?
一位网友则一阵见血的指出了Google的本质：
Taking a stand? Funny, when the money was coming in
Google was more then willing (happy) to turn a blind eye to human rights issues in China. But now that it's Google's "rights" (IP) that have been violated, they're suddenly "concerned" about human rights issues in China? They're taking a stand allright: a stand for Google's profits.

顺便引用一下一位印度网友的回帖，那是相当有趣：
Situation in India
In India, google gives off any personal information to police if asked and Maharashtra Police used to nab people from across India who make critical orkut communities. It is clear that only if its money/business is violated google gets the pain. Not human rights.
