Google 12日3:00 在官方博客中发布了一篇名为《A new approach to China》的博文。称去年12月中旬,他们侦测到一次来自中国、针对公司基础架构的高技术、有针对性的攻击,这次攻击导致其知识产权被盗。这些攻击和攻击所暴露出的监视行为,以及过去一年试图进一步限制网络言论自由的行动,促使谷歌决定对中国业务运营的可行性进行评估。
多姆德同时称,谷歌已经决定,不愿意继续对谷歌中国网站的搜索结果进行审查,未来几周,谷歌将与中国政府就在法律框架下如何运营一个不过滤搜索结果的引擎网站进行讨论;这可能意味着谷歌将要关闭中国网站,并可能撤除在中国的办公室。
但 Google 对此事的态度从博文中来看还是值得玩味的,并没有明确的说明退出中国,只是表示:
We have decided we are no longer willing to continue censoring our results on Google.cn, and so over the next few weeks we will be discussing with the Chinese government the basis on which we could operate an unfiltered search engine within the law, if at all. We recognize that this may well mean having to shut down Google.cn, and potentially our offices in China.
并说明此决议与Google.cn无关,会负责任的解决提出的这个麻烦问题。
We want to make clear that this move was driven by our executives in the United States, without the knowledge or involvement of our employees in China who have worked incredibly hard to make Google.cn the success it is today. We are committed to working responsibly to resolve the very difficult issues raised.
所以没必要把事情看成定局,过于激动、义愤或哀伤。所谓兵行险着,这也未尝不是个办法,何况还只是在给出态度的阶段。
不过从另一个角度来说,如果最后Google真的到了退出中国的局面,只能说这是国家意志与组织尊严对抗之后的阶段性结果。任何一个组织或者个人在一贯以强势做派为行事纲领的国度中,如果想保持尊严和独立,那么所选的路就是放弃,根本没有任何曲线,也不可能有曲线。即便是生意也是如此,请别拿中国是个大市场来作为诱饵了。 |
