As the post noted cyberwarfare is not out of the question. Google’s gmail was since targeted in June of this year. The thinking is that attack originated in the same city, Jinan, China, as the one discussed here. The key point is that there is a high tech military training school there. So these could just be skirmishes initiated by Chinese army cyber warriors setting the stage for things to come. And no this isn’t being paranoid. At least I don’t think so.

I think they agreed to censor the results to play nice with China. Hoping to get their foot in the door and gain some market share and then someday censor the search.

“We have decided we are no longer willing to continue censoring our results on Google.cn”.
You could ask yourself why Google agreed to censor search information in the first place. It certainly hasn’t supported the search engine which is trying to give the searcher the best info to their query.

“Until today, it appeared that the revenue from China outweighed the costs.”
This might have been the real reason for applying censorship.

I think that search engine Baidu is not sad about Google’s move out of the Chinese market. They already had a significant chinese marketshare.

I think the Chinese really couldn’t care less about hacking unless it can be clearly shown that they have their fingerprints all over it and it begins to hurt their export trade and/or inward investment. And even then, they will deny and invoke reasonable doubt.

Add up Korea to the list. They have they toughest guys on cyber attack. But as I observe, they do more beneficial hacking rather than destructive.

[...] Yet these attacks obviously did not lead to military conflict in the traditional sense. Some commentators have even classified China’s attacks against Google as cyberwarfare. Looking to Titan Rain and [...]
