This document discusses Google's decision to potentially pull out of China after experiencing a cyber attack and their desire to operate more freely in the country without censorship. It provides background on internet censorship in China and compares Google's approach to that of other companies like Microsoft and Yahoo that operate within China's restrictions. The potential impacts of Google's stance on its reputation, business in China and internationally, and diplomatic relations between the US and China are also examined.

45. Think About This...
How do you think the US government should diplomatically respond to Googleʼs
actions, keeping in mind an already tense diplomatic relationship with China
What is your opinion on the way Microsoft and Yahoo! have responded?
How do you think the Chinese government
will react to Googleʼs sudden uprising?
How do you think Googleʼs actions will affect
its public image as a “Do no evil” company?
Do you think any of this matters, considering
the fact that the world will end in 2012?
