Google outside of China and there is no trace on the mainland or Hong Kong.
The Chinese government, referring to Google's choice to withdraw from the People's Republic, has expressed very strong tone judging the attitude of the American company "totally wrong". It seems, however, according to the Chinese government, that this action will have no impact on foreign investment in China and that, after all, the fate of Google has a great importance for the public Internet, preferring to use the Chinese search engine Baidu . The government estimates it reported the figures tend to significantly Baidu - 60% of Chinese who need to use compared to 30% of Google users -.
The Deputy Director of the School of International Studies at the Renmin University of China, Jin Canrong, said that the withdrawal from the scene of the Chinese Google is not just a business tactic, devised to suspend unprofitable business in China for a more profitable image return.
As a last attempt to escape censorship, Google has tried to divert the users of the continent on the website of Hong Kong, not subject to the same censorship laws, provoking the reaction of the government took steps to disable the connection with Google Hong Kong .
Asked if this unfortunate event could affect the relations between the U.S. and the People's Republic of China Foreign Ministry spokesman, Qin Gang, replied that the situation will have no impact "on condition that the story is not politicized." The White House, however, said he was "disappointed" by the fact that an American company should be forced to such a step.
