Google mourned in China.

Despite threatening to leave China if censorship of search results continues, Google now denies that it has any plans to leave the country and claims it’s “business as usual” at Google China, reported Reuters.

And it is — many of Google’s censors are still in place in China, although some search constraints seem to have slackened. The 1989 march on Tiananmen Square, for example, is now searchable.

Google says that it plans to hold discussions with Chinese leaders over the next few weeks about operating an unrestricted search engine, reported Sky News.

Fellow search giant Yahoo recently declared its support of Google’s anti-censorship efforts, only to be criticised by its Chinese partner, reported The Guardian yesterday. Alibaba, Yahoo’s search engine cousin, called the US company’s move “reckless.” The Alibaba Group runs China’s largest online retailer and e-commerce sites, Taobao and Alibaba.com respectively. Yahoo owns approximately 40 percent of the Alibaba Group.

Meanwhile, other Chinese search engines are looking forward to a Google-free landscape, reported The Washington Post today. One such company is Baidu, China’s dominant search engine. Following the news that Google would stop censoring its search results, Baidu’s stock rose 21 percent on the Nasdaq, adding $2.8 billion to the company’s value in three days. Baidu, a Chinese company, cannot adopt a stance similar to Google’s, however. The company must comply with China’s censorship laws, and does so with a blunter edge than does its American competitor. Searches of politically sensitive material, while returning limited results on Google China, often return no results on Baidu.
