Today Google Threat CHINA tomorrow Can be You ?

Google China fight is going hotter day by day and no one ready to move back. If Google say he is the world largest search company than China is among the world largest user for same and not only to increase in Information Technology we all know from McDonald toys to your Lovable mobiles, electronics and lot more are given by China Itself. They are the world largest manufactures for our day to day use products.

"Google entered China by promising to follow the rule of the land, and it censored the search results to abide it. But when hackers tried to hack the Gmail accounts of human rights activist from inside China, Google lost its cool. They went ahead and decided to take on Chinese government head-on"

If Google ready to censored the search result way back when they are in need to catch china market, Now why Google not ready to do the same.Just because of some hackers ? How can a hacker problem will be combined with search result ?

See what Yahoo Japan head feels about Google. "Google takes law in their hands and most of their success has come from such steps. He said that in an interview not related to Google-China conflict"

In October 2009 we had discussed about "Google’s contribution to International politics" where Google mapsite user of China saw Arunachal Pradesh as a part of China and Google India user saw the same as part of India. Arunachal Pradesh has been and will always be a part of India.

Google China conflict will be definitely a Bonus to India, we are happy today about the fact and most favor Google over China reason being India is a democratic country where freedom and rights are defined by the democratic principles.

Today there is hardly any signs of Google doing wrong with Indian Government but who will give assurence for tomorrow. Google and facebook are so big in India that its not easy for Government to handle the same. As we had already seen in one of the example of Arunachal Pradesh.

The situation is even worse for India as Indian Tech companies are no where near Chinese (www.Baidu.com) that can take the charge in case of conflict. Indian big three companies — Indiatimes, Rediff and In.com are very small, and is no match to Google.

As of now there is no issue with Google in India,but let me remind you one of the issue witch recently happen in India (not related to Google) and hits million of users. PayPal the online money transfer giant did not care about fulfilling the Reserve Bank of India criteria and stopped all personal payment in India in a very short notice or i say with no notice.

GigaOM writes, "An unnamed analyst quoted by IDG News Service says that the changes may be related to new government rules in India that are intended to prevent or discourage money laundering. These rules, introduced last year, require financial intermediaries to verify the identity of clients carrying out international money transfers." The problem came when Paypal did not take serious note of Indian government body’s policy change on time, and just ignored the legal obligations it had with the country.

India, and all nations where Google is becoming powerful, needs to be cautiously of this Google’s dangerous move in China.

Google May Close China Operations

Google threatened Tuesday to shut down its operations in China after uncovering what it said were "highly sophisticated" cyberattacks aimed at Chinese human rights activists.

China-based cyber spies struck the Internet giant and at least 20 other unidentified firms in an apparent bid to hack into the email accounts of activists around the world, Google said Tuesday.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called on Beijing to explain the cyberattacks.

"We look to the Chinese government for an explanation," the chief US diplomat said in a released statement.

"The ability to operate with confidence in cyberspace is critical in a modern society and economy."

The online espionage has Google reconsidering its business operations in China and it said it will no longer filter Internet search engine results in that country.

"These attacks and the surveillance they have uncovered -- combined with the attempts over the past year to further limit free speech on the Web -- have led us to conclude that we should review the feasibility of our business operations in China," Google chief legal officer David Drummond said in a blog post.

"We are no longer willing to continue censoring our results on Google.cn, and so over the next few weeks we will be discussing with the Chinese government the basis on which we could operate an unfiltered search engine within the law, if at all," he said.

Drummond said Google realizes that defying Chinese government demands regarding filtering Internet search engine results may mean having to shut down its operations in China.

Google said it detected in mid-December "a highly sophisticated and targeted attack on our corporate infrastructure originating from China that resulted in the theft of intellectual property from Google."

The company said it was notifying at least 20 other large companies of similar attacks including finance, Internet, media, technology, and chemical firms. Related article: Baidu shares up after Google warning "We have no indication that any of our mail properties have been compromised,"

Google’s contribution to International politics

We all knows the Google contribution in Technology and Internet world. Google among the top players in Information Technology arena and the number one player in Internet world but do you know Google is now giving Contribution to International Politics too.

“They see him here, they seem him there, the French seek him everywhere. Is he in heaven, is he in hell, the elsusive scarlett pimpernel.”

Recently you must hear about one of the state of India (Arunachal Pradesh)who become the eye of International politics and give a lot of Chit-Chat to new and old evaluators of Politics. Google gave an unforgettable contribution in the Chit –Chat and become the part of International Politics.

Google Maps site for users in China (http://ditu.google.cn), Arunachal Pradesh appears as part of China.

Google Maps site for users in India (http://maps.google.co.in), Arunachal appears in the way India sees it – as an integral part of India.

Google Maps for users in other parts of the world, the site (http://maps.google.com) shows Arunachal Pradesh as a “disputed region”, like Kashmir.

Arunachal Pradesh has been and will always be a part of India. Google clearly likes to keep everyone happy. But since they say this does not impact their depiction of international borders, would they also clarify which version they’re talking about?? Since they have so many!

Google should come clean about their policy on national boundaries. Currently they issue apologies in India, while still displaying maps with defective boundaries elsewhere. A good explanation would be better than this insincere apology.
