China Warns Google to Censor Search Results!
China has sent Google a direct message to censor the search results displayed in the country. According to various reports emerging from different sources it is said that the Minister of Industry and Information Technology, Li Yizhong said during a press conference that Google has to obey China’s laws and that they have to censor the search results in the country.
The Associated Press quoted the minister saying, “If you want to do something that disobeys Chinese law and regulations, you are unfriendly, you are irresponsible and you will have to pay the consequences.” Further the minister said adamantly that it was the wish of Google completely whether they would leave China or not, they won’t force but want them to follow the laws of the soil.
To such reports and direct order to Google, CEO, Eric Schmidt said that something would really happen soon with the slowdown that took with China and that Google would soon perhaps fasten itself. However he was quick to comment that they would soon talk to Chinese authorities about an urge with the uncensored search engine in China.
Just few days back Google threatened to pull out of China if they couldn’t offer them unfiltered Chinese search engine. But this time the Minister made acute statements, “If you don’t respect Chinese laws, you are unfriendly and irresponsible, and the consequences will be on you.”
Li was quick to compliment Google for reaching nearly 30 percent of market share in Chinese market since its inception in China and also welcomed it to expand their market further provided they abided by Chinese Laws.
