BEIJING, March 22 (Xinhua) -- As the world's largest search engine Google has been reported to announce its plan of leaving China on Monday, most Chinese Internet users believe they will be ok with a no-Google Internet despite all predictable inconvenience.
In a survey conducted by www.huanqiu.com, the official website of the Global Times newspaper, an affiliate of the People's Daily, Internet users were asked "What's your opinion of Google's pulling out of China?"
Up to 84 percent of more than 27,000 respondents answered the "Don't care" option.
"If Google wants to leave, just do it, and I will turn to Baidu. For sure we can survive without Google," said an anonymous comment from Shandong Province on the news portal Xinmin.cn.
Google stirred up controversy in the world's media and on the Internet in January when the company's chief legal officer, David Drummond, said in a blog that Google might shut down google.cn and its China office due to disputes with the Chinese government and unidentified cyber attacks against its Chinese users.
