两家美国大型科技公司——戴尔和GoDaddy——因谷歌退出中国事件而警醒，也威胁要撤离中国市场。
GoDaddy的执行副总裁Christine Jones向委员会坦承，公司“担心个人的安全问题”。
专门出售互联网域名的GoDaddy集团说，鉴于新颁布的法规，它将停止在中国提供新“.cn”域名的注册服务。
中国政府宣布，任何人如果想在中国购买互联网域名，现在必须提供带有照片的身份证明。
GoDaddy在一次美国国会委员的听证会上发表了上述声明，这次听证会的主题是“谷歌与中国的网络控制：人权与贸易间的联系”。
GoDaddy的执行副总裁Christine Jones向委员会坦承，公司“担心个人的安全问题”。并且新规定会对新域名的注册业务产生“恐怖的后果”。
一位来自新泽西的共和党议员Chris Smith说：“谷歌打响的第一枪震动了全世界。现在，第二家美国公司响应了号召，也开始捍卫中国人民的权力。”
与此同时，世界第三大电脑销售公司戴尔，也暗示它或许会考虑将其在中国的业务转移到印度。
公司的创始人和首席执行官Michael Dell，在与印度总理辛格会面时，做出了以上的表示。
辛格先生在接受印度时报采访时说：“今天上午我与戴尔公司的主席会面。他告诉我，他们正在向中国购买价值250亿美元的设备和零部件。他们计划把业务转移到一个更安全的商业环境和更有保障的法制体系中。”
这条消息发布的同时，位于泰米尔纳德邦Sriperumbudur的戴尔的第一家印度工厂，生产出了第一批出口产品。该工厂的生产能力是每年100万台电脑。到目前为止，大部分的产品都流向印度的本地市场，但现在已经开始出口到中东。据印度媒体报道，戴尔在印度所得到的税收优惠政策与中国相比，可以让它以更便宜的价格来供应中东、非洲和欧洲市场。
戴尔的一位发言人说，公司没有计划很快撤离中国，但是“戴尔先生认为印度也有机会成为硬件生产的集散地，以便为当地创造就业机会，同时为印度令人瞩目的经济增长做一份贡献。戴尔目前还没有转移其零配件生产业务的计划。”
与此同时，谷歌退出中国大陆的派生影响开始真正地显示出来。中国联通，这个国家的第二大移动运营商，宣布将把谷歌搜索功能从其最新一代的Android平台移动电话中删除。
中国联通总裁陆益民说：“我们愿意与任何遵守中国法律的公司合作……我们目前与谷歌没有任何合作关系。”
联通是第一家放弃与谷歌合作关系的公司。采取同样策略的还有在李嘉诚家族名下的香港网络公司TOM在线。李嘉诚是香港首富，也是共产党政府的忠实盟友。
原文：
Two major US technology companies, Dell and Go Daddy, have threatened to pull out of China in the wake of Google's departure from the country.
Christine Jones, Go Daddy's executive vice president, told the committee that the company was "concerned for the security of individuals"
Go Daddy Group, which sells internet domain names, said it would stop offering new ".cn" domain registrations in China, following the introduction of new regulations.
The Chinese government has said that anyone wishing to buy a website name in China will now have to provide full photo identification.
Go Daddy made the announcement during a committee hearing of the United States Congress dubbed "Google and Internet Control in China: A Nexus between Human Rights and Trade".
Christine Jones, Go Daddy's executive vice president, told the committee that the company was "concerned for the security of individuals" and that the new regulations would have a "chilling effect" on new domain name registrations.
Chris Smith, a Republican Congressman for New Jersey said: "Google fired a shot heard around the world and now a second American company has answered the call to defend the rights of the Chinese people."
Meanwhile, Dell, the world's third-largest PC company by sales, hinted that it may be considering switching its operations from China to India.
Michael Dell, the founder and chief executive of the company, made the suggestion in a meeting with Manmohan Singh, the Indian prime minister.
Mr Singh told the Hindustan Times: "This morning I met the chairman of Dell Corporation. He informed me that they are buying equipment and parts worth $25 billion from China (£16 billion). They would like to shift to safer environment with a climate conducive to enterprise with security of legal system."
The news came as Dell's first plant in India, in Sriperumbudur in Tamil Nadu, made its first export shipment. The plant has the capacity to make a million computers a year. So far, most of the plant's production has gone to the Indian domestic market, but it has now begun shipping to the Middle East. According to the Indian media, tax breaks given to Dell make it cheaper for the company to supply the Middle East, Africa and Europe out of India, rather than China.
A spokesman for Dell said the company had no imminent plans to pull out of China, however. "Mr Dell believes India also has an opportunity of becoming a hardware manufacturing hub, generating employment and adding to the country's impressive growth. Dell has not made any plans to shift its component spend at this time," he said.
Meanwhile, the fall-out from Google's departure from the mainland has begun in earnest, with China Unicom, the country's second-largest mobile operator, announcing that it will remove the Google search function from its new Android-based mobile phones.
"We are willing to work with any company that abides by Chinese law... we don't have any co-operation with Google currently," said Lu Yimin, China Unicom's president.
Unicom is the first company to drop its alliance with Google, alongside TOM Online, a Hong Kong-based internet company owned by the family of Li Ka-shing, Hong Kong's richest man and a key ally of the Communist government. |
