Google threatened to end its operations in China after it discovered that the e-mail accounts of human rights activists had been breached.

The company said it had detected a “highly sophisticated and targeted attack on our corporate infrastructure originating from China.” Google says further investigation revealed that “a primary goal of the attackers was accessing the Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights activists.” Google did not specifically accuse the Chinese government.
