What is your of Google and its operations in China ?
Google like many Large multi national companies that were started in the USA wanted a share of the Chinese market and made a deal with China to censor search results in China.
Now that google has had a hackers attack from inside China they may leave the country *(I do not now the full story yet except that there was a hackers attack on google and google mail from inside china. I have not heard/read what google plans to do.)
I do not want this to influence your answer much but I really cut back on using google when they gave in to Chinas demads and started using the older search engines and portal like Yahoo.com
Is Yahoo operating in China?
Who else is ?
What do you thnk Google should do about this hacker attack incident ?
Is yahoo above the fray so to speak?
How about the other search engines & portals?

I should imagine that all search engines are global and so if the chinese want to use them they can. I don’t use Google at all and never have. the government in China are at the moment only thinking about closing google that was on the news this morning.
Google fails as a search engine and cares about nothing but it’s own profits.
google filters search results to favor its best customers.
Here is a chinese search engine I always use that puts google to shame,it filters nothing.

While I thought it was wrong of Google to give in to China’s demands, Yahoo is much more notorious for doing the same thing.
As far as Google, I think it’s cool that they are standing up to them now. But I think they will bend eventually and go back to censoring.
