"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."

Odd, to quote the email:

Technology Alert
from The Wall Street Journal

Google said it is "reviewing the feasibility of our business operations
in
China" and may back out of China entirely, as it disclosed it had been
hit
with major cyberattacks it believes originated from the country.

In a blog post, Google said it detected a "highly sophisticated and
targeted
attack on our corporate infrastructure originating from China" in
mid-December and that the attack resulted in "the theft of intellectual
property from Google."

Since the WSJ wants you to pay, see:

I hope they cover this on ISD tonight.
