Google decided to get out of China before becoming too dependant on the Asian dragon’s riches. Doing business in China is becoming increasingly difficult for the Internet search engine giant due to the Chinese government’s filtering of search results by their citizens. Google discovered that the communist government is hacking into the Gmail accounts of Chinese dissidents. Google, who earns $2 billions dollars internationally, currently generates a meager $300 million dollars doing business in China. By pulling out of the People’s Republic of China, it appears that Google is determined to live up to its motto “Don’t be evil.” That motto, however, is becoming increasingly difficult for the U.S. government to live up to due to President Obama and Nancy Pelosi's dependence on China’s purchase of U.S. Treasuries to finance the spending duos unprecedented debt.
The New York Times reports that Chinese government agencies launched cyberattacks against Google, Adobe Systems, Northrop Grumman, Juniper Networks and 33 other U.S. firms. The purpose of the attacks appears to be espionage (strategic and commercial) through the insertion of spyware. “President Obama, who has repeatedly warned of the country’s vulnerability to devastating cyberattacks,” reports New York Times “has said nothing in public about one of the biggest examples since he took office. And the White House, while repeating Mr. Obama’s calls for Internet freedom, has not publicly demanded a Chinese government investigation.” You don’t bite the hand that feeds you.
While the administration warns that Al Qaeda is stepping up its efforts to inflict a catastrophic terrorist attack on American soil, Obama is willing to look the other way as China steps up its cyberwarfare on America. And why not – he needs their cash for clunker health care.
