I was under the impression it was really about China sponsoring hacking and espionage against Google and then turning around and giving the spoils of that to its competitors native to China. I imagine they now feel that they can successfully defend against attacks and compartmentalize Chinese operations. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they kept all "secret sauce" code out of China altogether.
- mahranch 11y agoYeah, everyone keeps mentioning the whole "evil" aspect, but I was fairly sure google left due to the many, many attacks on it by Chinese hackers (who they believed to be the Chinese government) attempting and successfully stealing their source code: http://www.reuters.com/article/2010/03/03/china-google-idUSN0325873820100303 http://www.reuters.com/article/2010/03/03/china-google-idUSN...
- brazzledazzle 11y agoI've seen a couple talks by Google employees that support a massive change internally towards how they view security because of it. Besides the pressure to use Mac or Linux for workstations they also decided to just get rid of the concept of a "perimeter" for their corporate network entirely. No squishy inside if there's no inside.
