A little background: In response to the cyber attacks, Google has said that it may shut down Google.cn and its Chinese offices if it can't strike a deal with the Chinese government to run an uncensored search engine. The situation might also threaten Google Android's place in China's cell phone market.

China is already censoring news reports about the Google situation within its borders. Its representatives have said that it it doesn't want the conflict between it and Google to be "over interpreted," and that this incident shouldn't affect its relationship with the United States. Clinton does not agree. "Countries or individuals that engage in cyber attacks should face consequences and international condemnation," she said.
