Google fallout won’t affect Sino-US relations: China
March 24th, 2010 - 3:34 pm ICT by ANIBeijing, Mar. 24 (ANI): Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang has said that Google’s pullout from China won’t affect China-US bilateral ties “unless someone politicises the issue.”
Addressing a press conference, Qin criticized those “making a fuss” over the Google issue and dragging China-US relations into a commercial matter.
“What China is striving to prevent on the Internet is the flow of information that would pose a danger to national security and the interests of the society and the public,” Xinhua quoted him, as saying.
“Any foreign company operating in China must abide by Chinese laws and regulations,” he added.
He claimed that the Chinese government encouraged and pushed for the openness of the Internet and its management according to its laws and regulations, which was common practice in all countries.
China would stick to the strategy of opening-up and the principle of mutual benefit, and welcome foreign entrepreneurs to invest and do business in China within the law, he said.
On Tuesday, Google’s chief legal officer David Drummond wrote in a blog post that his company would “stop censoring.” (ANI)
