**Googles Stance on: **  The rights of citizens in China have been violated from Google's perspective view. A major attack on Gmail accounts system was found blocked by the government. There has been a certain "jasmine revolution" inspired by the events in Middle East that is trying to be dissolved by the Chinese authorities. Google sees this as a way of oppression to citizens, denying them the basic needs of freedom of speech. President Hu Jintao has even gone to enforce a tighter control over the internet to keep society to protest such as the Middle East has recently done. Google had agreed before to censor their searches but have announced they will no longer keep information censored from the public. A program formed by Google for people who are seeking information on their relatives or friends in Japans recent earthquake, is also apparently been blocked. China's communication through the Internet is being limited. Google has a certain motto," Don't be evil" that they follow with through. During the time Google had agreed to China’s censoring, but certain ethical criticism arose with it at the time. David Drummond, Google's chief legal officer said, "We want as many people in the world as possible to have access to our services, including users in mainland China, yet the Chinese government has been crystal clear throughout our discussions that self-censorship is a non-negotiable legal requirement." Due to China's control on the information being passed through and lack of freedom to its citizens, Google has retreated from the country, taking its services with it. Google sees China as a fast growing, active but very competitive global market. China's internet usage comes in second to the U.S. They are a major profit country for Google's business with the size of the population China holds. Google's competitors Yahoo and MSN have already established their services in China agreeing to censor their search defaults. Since China is increasing rapidly on their global market they are expected to have a high level of modern communication, their technology is expanding but are being limited due to their mandatory censorship. Communications were a must for China but they are trying to keep outside influences from disturbing their society in uprising or opposing the communist government to progress at the rate of growth they are in. Google stated “we will carefully monitor conditions in China, including new laws and other restrictions on our services. If we determine that we are unable to achieve the objectives outlined we will not hesitate to reconsider our approach to China." This restriction keeps them from having one of the largest well known search engine to expand their ability to interact with other important countries. **__Environment - Air and Water pollution__** Chinas swiftly expanding population unfortunatly results in heightened pollution. "More than 60 percent of China's rivers and lakes are now dangerously contaminate," according to official figures. China is facing air pollution, acid rain, water shortages, water pollution from untreated wastes, deforestation, loss 20 percent of agricultural land since due to soil erosion and economic development, and desertification. Although, Google does not have a direct link to Chinas enviroment, the profit the government earns that sourcing from Google will help commision major clean-ups and reforestation programms. These programs aided by Googles commission can relieve environmental stress, the rising prices of food, oil and other commodities. June 16, 2004 Google buys a minority stake in "Baidu," the leading Chinese-language Internet search company. In 2005, Google announced that it will open a product research and development center in China. Initally, this development sparked the first relationship between China and Google. January 25, 2006 Google sets up Google.cn, a Chinese language version of its search website. Google blocks some search results on this. However, this ignites steam due to Googles accordance with the Chinese to filter certain results.From there, Google attempted to follow the mainstream Chinese search market by creating an MP3 search service. nnel. It will sell its stake in Baidu in June 2006 to concentrate on growing its own business. In order to gain strength against Baidu again, Google invests in Xunlei.com, a small bussiness, and teams with China Mobile, to offer mobile internet access. On June 2007, the same day that Google and SINA announced their partnership, Google’s search service was launched on SINA’s Technology Interactions. These interactions took a backwards leap on January 12, 2010 when google states that they are "no longer willing to continue censoring its results on Google.cn." follow these hacker attacks. On March 22, 2011, Google moved its operations from the mainland to Hong Kong in order to "defuse the battle over censorship of its search results."

In previous years, Google did intend to promote the progress of China simply due to China's population which is five times the size of the U.S. Furthermore, this presented an opportunity for Google to earn a large profit from stocks and bussiness. Simpy put, this motivated the China progress. In 2005, Google announced that it will open a product research and development center in China. By establishing an R&D center in China, Google made a strong commitment to attracting and developing Chinese talent, as well as associate with local universities and institute. Additionaly, Google is commited to building a successful Chinese product research and development center and to expanding its international business operations. All of these intentions would aid China grow not only economically, but also socially. Google headquarters which are still in Beijing which are helping the high unemployment rate and also the economy. In recent years by merging companies with SINA's technology channel, Google started to overpower Baidu, which was the leading web servise company. This success motivated Google to continue the progress in China. In general, of these developments demonstrate Googles intent on promoting modernizing and in general, create a decent country.  **__Impact of China in the Next 50 Years__** From the progress China is making, it is predicted that in the next 50 years China will succeed all others in the economic area. Chinas progress is rapidly increasing in both population and income flow, trying to keep their community together, in order to keep at their current pace. The communist government may be changed slightly in the future, creating less censorship on internet for information. China's interactions with other countries will expand via through the internet increasing in international trade and investments. Through China's tenacious economic growth, the use of Google search will proceed to be used after censoring has lessened. ==== ====

Those that speak such as ethnic groups against China are instantly targeted. The over ensured censoring being applied to all internet providers, have brought tension to Google. China is fearful of its own people overthrowing the communist government. Any important group that publicly protests against the government is pursued immediately. Information such as the event in the Tiananmen Square is still filtered by the Chinese. Google in return ended its services in China from all the censor being applied to information that should be presented or available to the public.
