 Is trying to promote their business in China but, they’re are now thinking about moving out of China because of the attempted hacking. Our company has tried to have the Chinese government be less restrictive on it’s people and what they’re allowed to write and say. China has disregarded many of our attempts and discourage a lot of business with us. We are thinking of pulling out.  Eight years after Google was first established in the San Fransisco area we introduced Google.cn to China. It was censored greatly and often times shut down by the government. Needless to say it isn’t a very strong relationship. We eventually agreed to the Government’s many restrictions so that we could do business.  We gave them many things like the Gmail accounts which they hacked and abused. This is one of the things that has soured our relationship and destroyed much of our efforts to interact with China.
 *  What efforts have you taken to interact with China? **

 **Human Rights-freedom of speech**  Google and China have had a rough relationship. The Chinese government is controlling the internet and censoring it to much. The Chinese government attacked Google and tried to gain access to human rights activist e-mail accounts. Terms about the Dalia Lama and the Fulan Gong have been erased from all searches. This keeps the people of China from learning about these people and their organizations. If China doesn’t become less restrictive the Google will have to pull out. Those who say it is a financial reason for pulling out do not have much to go off of. Less then 2% of Google’s total revenue comes out of China. So we are fighting for the rights of the citizens of China.  China is censoring to much and are not allowing it’s people the freedom with which they deserve. China is trying to stop the anti-pollution, anti-corruption protests, and ethnic riots but, Google is trying to let these movements reign free. China has the largest number of imprisoned journalist in the world. They are put in

 **Environment**- China’s impact on the environment is a very serious problem because according to the European Union. They say that only 1% of the people in the cities of China breath air that is deemed clean by the European Union. Google and Chins have had a rough relationship in the past because a lot of the sites on google have been moderated by google and the Chinese government. This has caused people to get mad about the fact that google wants to help China with the water and pollution problem in China. The Chinese government don’t want them to help because they think that they can deal with the whole problem on their own. They really can’t because it is to big of a problem just for them to deal with it. Only 2% of China’s revenue comes from China but they still want to help the people by cleaning their air and water pollution problem. So since we have had so much problems with China after the hacking scandal in google that we have decided to pull out of China. We are trying to do this by trying to deny the access of google to the Chinese people. We want to help the Chinese people but not in the way that is being accomplished in the past few years.

**What success have you had on promoting a positive relationship with China? **  Eric Schmidt, Google’s outgoing Chief Executive has expressed his intention to expand the firm’s business in China. This is just from his point of view but, he has talked to a lot of people and he said that a lot of the company wants to expand into China. They could make lots and lots of money in China. Only if they expand into China and let their website into the country and be more accessible for the millions of people. This censorship has been raised and China is letting Google into the country. This is good because in two ways. The first way is that it brings money into China. Also this lets google put ads on their website in China, so it lets them get more money and make more money. Lastly by letting google into China this lets them have lots of economic opportunities and also this lets the youth of China educate themselves by learning from the website. Bringing Google into the country can only be a positive.

 **Global Independence**- Our company receives threats all of the time. But one particular time was different than the rest. Our security systems were breached in 2010. We suspiciously think that the attacker may have been from our allied nation of China. Since we have had our business located in China, we have had more problems then ever before. Emails came from alleged human rights activists. We are thinking of pulling out of China for good. This will effect our business significantly because China is our top user in the world. They have the largest population and second highest economy. If we pull out, we will lose a significant amount of money in Internet usage of our site. The company made $300 million in China in 2009 alone.

 **Tolerance and Diversity**- In the early years of China’s history many religious groups were persecuted for their beliefs, like the Falun Gang and sects of Daoists. In fact China fears all forms of organization that could organize people against the government. They have rounded up house churches of many different religions and forced them out of the country or imprisoned them. They banned the Falun Gang in July 20th, 1999 and had thousands of members arressted. We as a company, Google, want groups like the Falun Gang to be allowed to talk freely using our site. For to long China has oppressed it’s people and suppresed movements in places like Tianemen square. China needs more diversity in it’s world and it’s government is not allowing that no matter what they say. The government of China has forced upon us parameters which we are to abide by if we are to operate within their country. Phrases that deal with things that are “unacceptable,” have been censored. This kind of behavior is unacceptable and shows no tolerance for other religions and ideas.

 **What impact will China on the next 50 years or world history?**  By 2030 the population is expected to reach 1.6 billion and face 3 population peaks during this amount of time. In 2040, the expectancy of people 60 or older will be 320 million people. They are saying that 8% of the population will move to urban areas. China has 7% of the worlds arable land in the world today. China is the second in largest economy and are second in carbon dioxide pollution. Our cooperation also thinks that our relationship with China will only get better. We have had some problems with some parts of the country. We hope to promote a better way to use our site to help the Chinese find whatever they will need to do in a quick and easy way.
