The announcement of Google leaving China is triggering a large variety of responses among Chinese home and abroad. As someone said, it seems really like great material for a film. Just read "A New Approach to China" by Google and got the feelings that the company indeed has problem with the current Chinese regime. In other words, the attraction of economic interest may no longer exist because the attempt/behavior of the regime to police (or even infiltrate) the technological and managerial operations of the company directly affects its economic growth. This is, of course, an extremely interesting case when the myth of "Chinese market" is blown out. In fact, it may be a matter of time when the magic economic growth of China will be bogged down by its increasing political tension. The leaving of Google may be just a clear signal (there are other signals such as the increasing criminal cases involving peasant migrant workers killing their bosses, but they do not cause so much attention as Google) that the economic things are getting more and more involved with political control in China now.
