This news alert just in from the Wall Street Journal:
"Google will shift its search engine for China off the mainland to Hong Kong and maintain other operations in the country. The compromise announced Monday is an attempt to balance its stance against censorship with its desire to profit from a growing Internet market.
Google plans to keep its engineering and sales offices in China so it can keep a technological toehold in the country and continue to sell ads for the Chinese-language version of its search engine in the U.S."
The company's chief legal officer blogged : "Figuring out how to make good on our promise to stop censoring search on Goggle.cn has been hard. We want as many people in the world as possible to have access to our services, including users in mainland China, yet the Chinese government has been crystal clear throughout our discussions that self-censorship is a non-negotiable legal requirement."
Google has set up a new web page to give a daily report of what Google services are available in China -- and what are blocked.

I see that google is a well known and gain a lot of profit from the internet market and know hoe to benefit from it. Many people access to google services even in China. Google is a goood thinker and clever
I think because Hong Kong is a part of China , there is no problem to keep google engine there !! and because Hong Kong have laws and ethics it would be much better !!
Google is one of the biggest and active websites. They are growing day by day and they always update their services. I believe that Google will always care and provide what is best to the world and to people who surf the internet. Wise Google.
Fatema Abubaker was here :D
google is my best search engine , I use it to search for anything and anytime that because of it's easy interface. i think google's Chinese solution is good because that will give us a chance to find more information that we need.
