After a series of highly sophisticated attacks on a number of companies from China, Google has issued a statement on its blog stating that they, “should review the feasibility of our business operations in China” and no longer want to censor their search results on Google.cn.
What is amazing is that 330 million current Chinese users will be potentially cut off by this move as well as a significant chunk of the data map below being reduced or redistributed.
