Google co-founder Sergey Brin cools China situation

Google co-founder Sergey Brin has cooled talks surrounding the search engine pulling out of China.

As the California-based company threatened to pull out of the most populous country in the world, there was widespread speculation that the alleged attacks that provoked the situation were from inside the government itself.

However, Brin has denied such claims, insisting that it does not particularly matter even if the converse were true.

“”Even if there were a Chinese government agent behind this, it might represent a fragment of policy, as it were,” he said, according to CNN.

“I think there are many people there and they have different views. If you look at when we entered China, in 2006, I actually feel like things really improved in subsequent years.

“We had to self-censor a fair amount, but we were actually able to censor less and less, and our competitors were able to censor less and less.”
