Google is investigating whether one or more employees may have helped facilitate a cyber-attack that the U.S. search giant said it was a victim of in mid-December, two sources told Reuters on Monday.The sources, who are familiar with the situation, told Reuters that the attack, which targeted people who have access to specific parts of Google networks, may have been facilitated by people working in Google China's office.
"We're not commenting on rumor and speculation. This is an ongoing investigation, and we simply cannot comment on the details," a Google spokeswoman said.
An outsider would have trouble gaining the level of insight needed to pull this off.
Google said they are pulling out of China because they are no longer willing to censor results.
That is not correct.
Google has stated that they will no longer censor there .cn results.

This is kind of scary because if there were insiders working for the Chinese Gov't I wonder how the US Gov't will react.
The only thing that China has is its super big population, otherwise, the experience is not worth it. I just don't trust them. It will take them a whole new generation to be on par with the west when it comes to Trust, Accountability, Honesty etc.
Actually hold on? Even the new generation will be spoiled as they are the ones being taught to hack into all these governments and corporations.
Something has to be done. Otherwise, you can never trust China again.
I'm still looking for a laptop that does not have any Chinese components.

China holds an awful lot of our debt. Some have observed that China could do some serious damage to our economy without causing much damage to its own. I doubt the US Gov't will do much beyond noisemaking.
Going to econ war with their biggest consumer is the dumbest move for China, so let's not go crazy here. And let's forget that he technology is Western, the Chinese are just the cheap manufactures and they have the smog and poisoned rivers to show for it.

When we stop buying Chinese made goods, especially electronics because of security, health and/or safety concerns China will start to pay attention. But first we have to stop buying their stuff.
This won't happen though, China holds over 75% of the total USA debt. They hold that debt over your governments head and tell them.... buy more stuff from us.
You know when China owed the Brits all that money Britain just took Hong Kong and it's ports over for 99 years. Hope China doesn't get the same idea to collect from the USA.

This is not true
