Now, the fallout following Google's announcement that it is no longer willing to censor search results on its Chinese service and that it may exit China is continuing.
As we reported yesterday, the world's leading search engine said the decision followed a cyber attack it believes was aimed at gathering information on Chinese human rights activists.
The move follows a clampdown on the internet in China over the last year, which has seen sites and social networking services hosted overseas blocked including Twitter, Facebook and YouTube and the closure of many sites at home.
Chinese authorities criticised Google for supplying "vulgar" content in results. Google acknowledged that the decision "may well mean" the closure of Google.cn and its offices in China. Google has only a third of the search-engine market in China, which is dominated by the Chinese giant Baidu.
Although its revenues have continued to rise, many analysts believed it was finding business hard going. Let's cross to Emma in the newsroom now for the latest on what China's Internet users have been saying about all this.

First off you cant say that it is all about the competition Baidu has a competitive advantage due to its classification as a news site in China. I understand that Baidu has some redeeming features that could give the site advantages, however this does little prove your point since these features are ones that Google is not allowed to present due to the reputation that it wants to have as a global brand. Since Google's exit from the country a Government run search engine has been agreed upon

you all are idiots. chinese search engine called Baidu overpassed Google's services and Google got squeezed out by it's competition. It's all western bullshit. I got a friend that works for Baidu, and he said it was like war with Google, they started to do shit to shut down Baidu, but Baidu stayed strong and eventually Google dropped out. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT.

@billjesusgates yeah, it's brilliant move for Google. No one wants China to be the world's largest intranet.
