"At Google's annual shareholders meeting today, Google CEO Eric Schmidt said that the search engine's situation in China, &amp;quot;seems to be stable.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nAsked by a shareholder, Schmidt elaborated according to the AFP with the following quotes that were streamed live on YouTube:\r\n&amp;quot;Should the Chinese government become upset with us, or become further upset with us or what have you, they do have the ability to change this outcome...\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;From Google's perspective we made our decision, we've implemented it, we want to continue to serve the Chinese citizens. We want to continue our business operations in China.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;We made a decision to move our search services to Hong Kong. Remember it's 'one country, two systems' -- we like the other system better,&amp;quot; Schmidt said.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;In the other system, there's a firewall censorship barrier between Hong Kong and mainland China and that barrier is providing the censorship so that Google does not have to under their law,&amp;quot; he said.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;By moving our search services to Hong Kong we were able to operate legally in China under a different set of rules than had we maintained them in Beijing.&amp;quot;\r\nRead our previous coverage of Google China here."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
