CHINA NEWS - Yet another embarrassing revelation released by whistle-blowing site Wikileaks, cites a well placed source as saying the hacking of Google earlier this year, which forced the internet giant to quit China was “100% political.”
The leak US cables suggest that senior Chinese political men were behind the much controversial Google hacking story, though the cable denies any proof of top leaders to be involved in the incident.
It is reported that Beijing has been alarmed by Google’s high resolution satellite imagery, Google Earth.
Earlier this year, Google blamed China to attack the company by sophisticated cyber technology. It is said the email accounts of human right activists were among those hacked.
China also censored Google in its country, and to avoid increasing conflict, Google the country and moved its Chinese-language operations to Hong Kong.
The source who is oblivious and name is deleted from the text said the operations against Google this year from Chinese government were absolutely 100% political in nature, and not an attempt of common perception to boost domestic search engines such as Baidu.
However, the writer says it’s still in doubt whether President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao were aware of government’s ulterior action against the search engine.
