本周二，谷歌高级副总裁、首席法律顾问大卫•多姆德在该公司官方博客中发布声明称，谷歌公司总部将考虑关闭中文版搜索网站Google.cn，并有可能关闭驻中国办事处。这份声明表示，决定关闭“谷歌中国”站点和在中国的办事处的导火索是，在去年12月中旬针对Google的网络攻击中，一些gmail账户的资料遭到窃取。另外，谷歌公司不愿意继续审查“谷歌中国”搜索到的结果。如果有可能的话，接下来的几周里，Google将和中国政府商议，在法律允许范围内运行一个不必经过过滤的搜索引擎。如果不能达成协议，可能意味着将不得不关闭“谷歌中国”，甚至其中国办事处。有分析人士认为，谷歌此举是在向中国政府施压，希望不会再受网络搜索内容过滤的限制。不过，谷歌内部员工对双方的协商结果并不乐观。[文章版权 禁止转载:考试与评价 ?lzGX6�,`.tRw2HJ/FroG]

The statement marks a shift in the company's China strategy for the past five years, which is to provide censored results under Chinese law through its domestic search engine in exchange for a presence in the world's largest online population.
