Google plans to exit china in April 2010

Google is already having plans to leave China and shut down its Chinese search engine operations google.cn.Google may also pull out all its chinese operations or it can just shut down only the customised search engine google.cn.Already some of the Google Popular social networking sites like Facebook,Twitter, and Google’s Youtube are banned in China.

Why is Google planning to leave China?
Initially some dispute happened between the Chinese government and Google on violating the country’s internet rules and regulations.But Google declares that it was already censoring the search results by blocking the politically and socially sensitive issues during search.Likewise as Google started to get more and more restrictions on search results and continuous hack on Chinese human rights activists,Google decided to reconsider their approach to China.

who is going to lose?
As per the analysis by other news websites it is stated that its going to be the “Lose-Lose” scenario.Google will definitely face some loss in terms of revenue when it leaves the most populated country in the world.But China will be losing more as most of the people today rely on the Google search engine and it will really be hard for people to get used with their local search Engine “Baidu”.China’s mobile operations may also get affected as most of the Chinese today are dealing with the Andriod OS mobile phones.Apart from the normal users and the Goverment the employees of Google.cn are sure to suffer and may even have tough time in terms of job.

As per the latest search on news websites we can get the confirmed news from Google tomorrow,Monday
