"China, Don't Be Evil" Says Google !

Internet giant Google took a pretty big risk this week when it decided to take on the Chinese government, following its discovery of a targeted cyber attack on its corporate infrastructure that originated in China. Not only was the company no longer going to play by the censorship rules of the most populated nation in the world but it also said it would be willing to shutter its site and close its offices in China because of it.[1]

In 1998 when China starter the "Golden Shield Project" Google was also a partner [2] where they compromised in filtering search results and even omitting certain results from Google search or even from subsidiary companies like YouTube in order to comply with Chines government censorship laws.

But the recent issues made Google to rethink, and in a way they are setting a pretty high moral bar for other corporates also to review their policies for conducting business in china.The "Don't be Evil" motto of Google is coming in practice now. Lets wait and see!
