China's stance towards censorship, puts foreign companies in an interesting position. Google; for example, has decided that they will not abide by China's dictates around censorship, while others like Microsoft, have indicated that they will comply.<br />

I'd be interested in getting people's general thoughts on this as the story unfolds, but specifically, I think it would be an interesting discussion to talk about what this means for companies doing business and wanting to do business in China. With U.S. Ambassador to China Jon Huntsman indicating that, China based attacks on government computers have been "ongoing for a long time." It makes one question the safety and security of the digital information being generated and used by these companies.<br />

I'd be interested in getting your thoughts.
