Credit: Reuters/Jason Lee BEIJING (Reuters) - China's state media on Sunday accused Google Inc of pushing a political agenda by "groundlessly accusing the Chinese government" of supporting hacker attacks and by trying to export its own culture, values and ideas. Technology | Media | China In a commentary signed by three Xinhua writers, the state news agency also sought to defend the government's Internet censorship, which Google has cited as one reason the world's largest search engine may quit China. "Regrettably, Google's recent behaviors show that the company not just aims at expanding business in China, but is playing an active role in exporting culture, value and ideas. "It is unfair for Google to impose its own value and yardsticks on Internet regulation to China, which has its own time-honored tradition, culture and value." On Friday, the China Business News reported that Google may make an announcement as early as Monday on whether it will pull out of China. Two months ago, Google said it had been the target of sophisticated hacking attacks originating from inside China, and the company said it would no longer agree to abide by Beijing's censorship rules even if that meant shutting down its Google.cn site. Since then, the two sides have reportedly been at a standoff, although Google's chief executive, Eric Schmidt, said he hoped to have an outcome soon from talks with Chinese officials. China requires Internet operators to block words and images the ruling Communist Party deems unacceptable, including those involving politically sensitive topics. Beijing has also entirely blocked internationally popular websites Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. In the Xinhua commentary, the writers accused Google of violating international norms. "In fact, no country allows unrestricted flow on the Internet of pornographic, violent, gambling or superstitious content, or content on government subversion, ethnic separatism, religious extremism, racialism, terrorism and anti-foreign feelings," the commentary stated. As in other disputes with foreign businesses and governments, the commentary said China's stance in this case was a "pure internal affair." The writers said China's Internet development would prosper without Google, while the company would be the "biggest loser." "Whether it leaves or not, the Chinese government will keep its Internet regulation principles unchanged. One company's ambition to change China's Internet rules and legal system will only prove to be ridiculous. "And whether leaving or not, Google should not continue to politicalize itself, as linking its withdrawal to political issues will lose Google's credibility among Chinese netizens." Although it is the global leader, Google operates at a distant second place to Baidu Inc, China's domestic search engine leader, which has benefitted from the dispute. Baidu's shares have surged more than 44 percent since Google's announcement that it could pull out of China, while Google's stock has fallen roughly 6.3 percent. (Reporting by Ken Wills; Editing by Jeremy Laurence) Technology Media China Comments See All Comments (12) | Post Comment Mar 21, 2010 5:57am EDT What free values are they accusing Google of exporting? Freedom of information? Heaven forbid! And how are Google’s claims of intellectual property concerns “ungrounded” when a dedicated and coordinated cyber attack originated from China which also attacked a multitude of other businesses? MetaVita Report As Abusive Mar 21, 2010 7:36am EDT It’s no more a secret that cyber attacks happen across all directions but Google is pointing the finger only at China. Even Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer expressed his surprise at Google’s outburst. Censorship is a hurdle to Google’s profitability and has nothing to do with its philosophy. Try telling sex is bad to a pimp. Even Australia is against total freedom of the internet. If it is purely business, Google won’t be pulling out anyway. They are making money there with their 33% market share. No businessman would do that other than some non-financial motive. greenacres Report As Abusive Mar 21, 2010 9:24am EDT Apparently, Google’s PR hype misled people around the world. Google and Yahoo and nearlly all Internet serive providers in U.S. filter contents! There is Save Search or similar filter when you search images with Google and Yahoo. If you don’t want your children acess adult contents in the Internet, why should you want Chinese kids to be exposed to un-filtered contents? Every country is doing web filtering. And Google only picks China to achieve its hype. Yanghaoshi Report As Abusive Mar 21, 2010 9:42am EDT “No country allows unrestricted flow on the Internet of pornographic, violent, gambling or superstitious content, or content on government subversion, ethnic separatism, religious extremism, racialism, terrorism …… etc”. Nice to see Reuters is printing some truth for a change. Thank you, Reuters. GRJensen Report As Abusive Mar 21, 2010 9:45am EDT I’m a Chinese. I use Google everyday. But I dislike what Google did this time. It does not obey laws and regulations in China. All Internet companies in China obey the laws. But Google wants to be the ONLY one that does not have to obey laws. Ask ordinary Chinese in China, we dislike this. We might be fans of Google, but we don’t welcome companies that don’t respect our laws and don’t repect our people. Yanghaoshi Report As Abusive Mar 21, 2010 9:47am EDT When you add comment on this news, see the note after you hit the “Submit Comment”? “We try not to publish comments that we think are offensive or appear to pass you off as another person, and we will be conservative if comments may be considered libelous. We may block or remove comments that use capital letters excessively.” Reuters filters comments, too! Yanghaoshi Report As Abusive Mar 21, 2010 10:00am EDT Sadly, My boyfriend and I broke up a month ago. yeah.. i’m young ,beautiful,lonely and still hurting.i need someone to love ….My friends told me about A_g_e_m_i_n_g_l_e @ c.//o.//m and i got curious about it.. they met their boyfriends there.,It is said that it’s the best place to meet a older boyfriend or a younger girlfriend. .So i got a username AnnaBaby there in order to find a new boyfriend. is it wrong? kylenana Report As Abusive Mar 21, 2010 10:07am EDT Yanghaoshi You are chinese. Then you know that the playing field in China is unfair. Baidu has government conections, and Google is held to the most strictest of standards. Baidu steals copyrighted information and they win the court case. Google uses some chinese writers’ copyrights, and they are forced to pay a fine. Might I add that Google was attacked in china, and the chinese government refused to investigate. China is unfriendly to foreign companies; i know, i have been working here for six years. You might not like what google is doing, but what your government is doing is worse. For those of you who say that all nations restrict certain internet access, you are misguided. China blocks facebook. China doesn’t block porn. There is still plenty of porn on Chinese internet, but yet we can’t get facebook. The chinese masses need to grow up and stop listening to their state-run media. Every chinese person sounds the same with this google issue, because they have been brainwashed. All I want to see is the chinese government do what they are supposed to do; investigate the IPR violations against google and bring those chinese criminals to justice. Until then, The chinese government is responsible for breaking their own laws, and google has my and many other free loving people’s sympathy. blahhhhhh Report As Abusive Mar 21, 2010 10:12am EDT Yanghaoshi Your government doesn’t respect you when they are lying to you. Why don’t chinese people demand that their government investigate the issue; find who was responsible for attacking google? Why does your government tell you they censor pornography, when they actually focus all their time on tiananmen square, tibet, religion, and xinjiang issues? Are they afraid you will learn a different opinion? Are they afraid you can’t think for yourself and make your own decisions about these issues? Are you afraid? I think so. The chinese government is the one disrespecting you by saying you are smart enough to read “good” publications, so they pick them for you. In this aspect, china is like North Korea. blahhhhhh Report As Abusive See All Comments (12) Add a Comment More from Reuters Nailing down the votes Democrats are getting closer to the number of votes needed to pass Obama's overhaul of healthcare.
