Google said on Tuesday that it has been the subject of sophisticated cyberattacks from China to access Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights activists. The world's leading Internet search engine said it may have to abandon China and it has decided it is no longer willing to continue censoring its results on Google.cn, and over the next few weeks it "will be discussing with the Chinese government the basis on which we could operate an unfiltered search engine within the law, if at all."
