Google Clash Highlights How China Does Business
By Byron Acohido, Calum MacLeod and Kathy Chu USA TODAY <http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2010-01-23-googlechina25_cv_N.htm>


Google's (GOOG) recent threat to pull out of China has brought into sharp relief China's longstanding clampdown on personal freedoms and foreign companies' access to its vast consumer market. It has continued these practices even as it revs up the capitalist-style advance of the world's fastest-growing economy.

In China, domestic "stability" is paramount. That means zero tolerance for political dissent at a time when Chinese consumers are being encouraged to embrace technologies that let them communicate and socialize much like their Western counterparts. Similarly, China has invited major tech players, such as Google, Microsoft and Yahoo, to help nurture its economic growth. Yet it imposes censorship and other restrictions and has paid little heed to intellectual-property rights.

Analysts say this is all part of China's drive to develop and become the dominant supplier to the world's most populous consumer-driven economy, with information technology as a major component. "The government in China is determined to exercise some control over mass media and the Internet," says Harvard law professor Jonathan Zittrain. "The aim is to keep the average Internet user pointed away from controversial content and towards approved content."

Until Google dug its heels in, China Inc. seemed to have all the cards stacked in its favor. On Jan. 11, the search giant issued a statement complaining about invasive cyberattacks and demanding that China back off on censorship of Google's search results. "This is the first time a big company like Google has stood up and said, 'I have had enough of this,' " says Hu Yong, a Beijing-based new-media expert.
