Chinese Regulators Renew Key License For Google

BEIJING—Chinese regulators renewed a key license for Google Inc., suggesting that authorities continue to accept the way the U.S. Internet giant has restructured its local operations to stop censoring its own Chinese-language search results.

Wang Lijian, director of the news office of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, a main Internet regulator, said the government renewed for another year the Internet Content Provider license that Google uses in China, a license required of all locally operated websites.

China regulates Internet content in part through issuing licenses and overseeing companies like Google and its chief Chinese competitor Baidu Inc. Authorities also block or limit access to websites based overseas.

Google scaled back its China operations last year after a public spat with authorities over its concerns about censorship and hacking, announcing that it would stop filtering its content as required by local regulations. The move caused users to fear the company would discontinue its Chinese-language services entirely, or that the government would retaliate by banning its websites within the country.

Instead, Google began redirecting users from its Chinese domain address, Google.cn, to a website in Hong Kong whose search results Google doesn't filter.

Foreign companies aren't allowed to own Internet content licenses directly in China. The license Google uses is owned by a Chinese partner. Authorities are believed to have given the license an approval last year, also.

The fact that Google's overseas Web services have remained accessible in China was already a sign that regulators had accepted the Hong Kong workaround. Google continues to earn revenue from Chinese advertisers seeking to reach users abroad.

But the government continues to censor the search results of Google's overseas sites for users inside the country, and access to the overseas sites and to its Gmail service have become increasingly unstable for users in China, causing Google's share of traffic and revenue in the country to fall.

Google continues to use its mainland Chinese address for music and certain other services, without redirecting users to Hong Kong. But uncertainty remains for its online map services, which Google is still in talks with the regulators about, a Google spokesman said.

谷歌在华互联网牌照获续期
http://cn.wsj.com/gb/20110908/tec084007.asp

中国监管部门批准了谷歌(Google Inc.)一项重要牌照的续期，表明当局继续接受这家美国互联网巨头调整中国内地业务、停止审查其中国搜索结果的做法。

主要互联网监管部门工业和信息化部新闻处处长王立健说，政府批准谷歌在华使用的ICP牌照续期一年。所有在华运营的网站都必须有ICP牌照才能运营。

中国对互联网内容的监管一部分是通过发放牌照和监管谷歌及其主要中国竞争对手百度这样的公司实现的。此外，当局还屏蔽或限制对海外网站的访问。

去年，谷歌因对审查和黑客入侵的担忧而与当局公开发生争论，之后谷歌缩减了中国内地的业务，宣布将停止按照当地监管规定过滤内容。此举令用户担心谷歌将完全中断中文服务，或者政府将通过禁止谷歌网站在内地运营而加以报复。

相反，谷歌开始将用户从其中国内地网站Google.cn自动跳转到位于香港的网站。谷歌对香港网站的搜索结果不进行过滤。

外国公司在中国不得直接持有互联网牌照。谷歌使用的牌照为一家合作伙伴所有。据信当局去年也批准了谷歌牌照的发放。

谷歌的海外网络服务在内地仍可以访问，这一事实就已显示出监管部门已经接受将搜索服务转到香港这种变通做法。谷歌继续从寻求吸引海外用户的中国广告客户身上赚钱。

不过，政府继续审查内地用户在谷歌海外网站的搜索结果，此外，内地用户对海外网站和谷歌Gmail服务的访问变得越来越不稳定，导致谷歌在华访问量和收入所占份额下滑。

谷歌继续使用内地网址提供音乐和某些其他服务，而没有令用户自动跳转到香港。不过，谷歌发言人说，谷歌在线地图服务依然存在不确定性，目前谷歌仍在与监管机构就此进行协商。

“中国监管部门批准了谷歌(Google Inc.)一项重要牌照的续期，表明当局继续接受这家美国互联网巨头调整中国内地业务、停止审查其中国搜索结果的做法。”——不可能！这只能表明谷歌接受了中国政府对其内地业务搜索结果的审查！
谷歌有本事就彻底离开中国市场！
自从2006年网友发现在谷歌上只能搜出“尖阁列岛”而搜不出“钓鱼岛”后，我就再也没用过它！

现在我只有在搜索英文内容的时候才用到谷歌，希望百度尽快和Bing整合，这样连英文搜索我们也可以踢开谷歌了。

GOOGLE就是典型的2B企业，也不号号TG的脉。一般情况下，TG都会给你开绿灯。非想折腾
学学可口可乐这些美国企业

谷歌还是不要轻易改变自己的经营方针比较好。

不太懂原文怎么说的，但翻译过的第一段显然把谷歌对白兔的妥协反着说了，相当的好笑
