Google threatens to leave China


Washingtonpost.com reports on Google's threat to leave China after attacks on activists' e-mail:

"Google said Tuesday that it might pull out of China because of a sophisticated computer network attack originating there and targeting its e-mail service and corporate infrastructure, a threat that could rattle U.S.-China relations, as well as China's business community."

GR: Is Google's act here an attempt at coercion, or one of self-preservation?
