Google threatens to quit China


Google, the internet search engine, has threatened to pull out of China in a row over censorship.

It has set itself at odds with the authorities in China by declaring that it will stop censoring search results on its Chinese website.

In a shock announcement, the group issued a thinly-veiled attack at official Chinese censors and information police, and said it was prepared to shut down its operations there entirely if the authorities do not allow it to create an unfiltered search engine.
