Several Chinese citizens laid wreaths and flowers at Google's China headquarters yesterday to mourn the company's departure from China. It may be a little premature to close the book on Google, since the company says it intends on staying unless it's unable to work out a deal with the government to ease up on censorship restrictions. Since it's unlikely the government will allow search results dealing with Tiananmen, Falung Gong, or the Dalai Lama anytime soon, Google may indeed follow through on its threat to leave. The news is being covered cautiously in China, with few outlets mentioning Google's accusation of hacking into human rights activists' email accounts.
