Google has drawn up detailed plans for the closure of its Chinese search engine and is now “99.9 per cent” certain to go ahead as talks over censorship with the Chinese authorities have reached an apparent impasse, according to a person familiar with the company’s thinking.
In a hardening of positions on both sides, the Chinese government also on Friday threw down a direct public challenge to the US search company, with a warning that it was not prepared to compromise on internet censorship to stop Google leaving.
The signs that Google was on the brink of closing Google.cn, its local search service in China, came two months after it promised to stop bowing to censorship there. But while a decision could be made very soon, the company is likely to take some time to follow through with the plan as it seeks an orderly closure and takes steps to protect local employees from retaliation by the authorities, the person familiar with its position said.
Google is also seeking ways to keep its other operations in China going, although some executives fear that a backlash from the Chinese authorities could make it almost impossible to keep a presence in the country.

Χαλαρά όμως θα την κάνει η Google. Όσο για τους Κινέζους, αυτοί δεν έχουν πρόβλημα. Έχουν φίλο τη Micro$oft που θα κάνει εκεί χρυσές δουλειές με το Bing. Με τη μόνη διαφορά ότι το Bing εκεί είναι κάτι σαν Πλιτς. Όχι τίποτα άλλο αλλά είναι ήδη η Micro$oft η πουτάνα των Κινέζων ή οι Κινέζοι είναι οι πουτάνες της Micro$oft. Για το καλό του Κινέζικου λαού πάντα ισχύει εκεί το φίμωτρο της ελευθερίας γενικά και όχι μόνο του λόγου!
