Google continues negotiations with the Chinese government. If you're unfamiliar with the story Google refuses to censor search results, Google takes 36% of the market share in China and that number was constantly growing. In short Chinese officials don't wan't Chinese people to have all the information the web offers and that is a huge injustice for the Chinese, Google would take a hard hit pulling out of China but possibly an even harder hit if they agree to stay in China and submit to the Great Firewall of China. As a google user (Search, Gmail, Calendar, Docs, blogger, Adsense, Analytics) I would have a hard time continuing to use google services and staying within my morales. Thankfully it seems 99.9% sure that Google will be leaving as www.Baidu.cn shares are jumping up and www.Google.cn is rapidly dropping in share value. Baidu has gained more than 200 points since the news broke in January.
