Google will continue to offer Chinese-language search

Google will not stop its Chinese-language search service even if it closes its Chinese search engine - Google.cn, the company said on Wednesday.

"We will obviously continue to offer Chinese-language search on our global search engine," said a spokesman who asked to not to be named in a written statement to China Daily.

Google may exit China, revealed David Drummond, Google's chief legal officer in an unusual blog posting, sparking concerns among some Chinese users that they may lose access to Google's Chinese search service.

The company will be talking to the Chinese authorities about how to operate under the law, the spokesman said in the statement.

If the talks failed, "we will close Google.cn," said the statement.
