Baidu hacked by Iranian hackers – General

Other U.S. corporations doing business in China may admire Google's tough stand against the country's government over Internet censorship and cyber attacks, but that doesn't doesn't mean they're prepared to exit the country along with Google. Far from it. Take Motorola, which launched a turnaround effort last year built around Google Android-powered phones like the Droid and Cliq.

A departure would follow four years of clashes over censorship and highlight the challenges global companies face operating in a one-party state that controls the flow of information. A pullout would deprive Google of an estimated $600 million in annual revenue from China’s 338 million Internet users and may help domestic Baidu Inc. extend its lead in the world’s largest online market.
