Now that I am getting more and more involved with doing business in China, of course such headlines draw my attention. Although I am sure that ‘human rights’ are sometimes ‘forgotten’ in athat vast country, I am equally sure that this is the case in more than half the countries on our globe. So I am not going to get into a discussion about right or wrong.

But Google, and maybe other significant information bringing companies, pulling out of China would be a loss for THEM, not so much for Google or for the ‘free world’.

Apparently Google and its email accounts were attacked from sources in China, causing the message that I found today: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/01/new-approach-to-china.html

Now that is something I DO have an opinion on, and a very strong one. DON’T mess with OUR freedom and privacy…. I pretty much do not care what you di with your own ;-)

Lets see what happens next, but China would be ill advised to return to their isolationist policies.
