Since when? Always.
From the time that Google decided to leave China & divert all traffic to HK, I was telling myself "it can't be right. they will be back."
China has 1.3bn people. It is a huge market for Google, for most companies, it's just hard to let it go.
However, the organisation's continuing problems with the "great firewall of China", which limits access to online information. The recent awarding of the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize to dissident Liu Xiaobo, can never be found on any search engine in China.
How will Google cope with this?
Patrick Pichette, Google's CFO said "Think of Google's brand now, you're Chinese, you know … that the Nobel Peace Prize has not disappeared from the face of the earth. There lies the issue of brand. There lies the issue of our mission."
Let's keep watching how it progress.
