Yahoo Rapped by Chinese Partner

Google’s revelation of its not willing to censor search results has turned the spotlight on western technology companies such as Yahoo and Microsoft that do business in the largest internet market by user numbers. No other companies have followed Google’s lead in threatening to pull out or refusing to comply with China censorship rules yet. These days, Yahoo’s Chinese partner issued a scathing criticism of the US group, calling it “reckless” for publicly supporting Google’s decision potentially to quit the country in protest over cyber-attacks. China’s largest e-commerce company—Alibaba Group, in which Yahoo holds a 40% stake, said it had communicated to Yahoo that its statement that it is aligned with the position Google took was reckless given the lack of facts in evidence.
