Google's China push outweighs censorship concerns

The tech giant's re-entry into China signals a major policy U-turn involving the world's largest market.

A few weeks back, we learned Google was developing something called "Project Dragonfly", a new search 
engine for the Chinese market that would function in compliance with Beijing's strict rules on censorship.

In an organisation that talks up transparency, it is ironic that only a handful of the company's 88,000 employees knew about the project. When some of them caught wind of it, they leaked the story to an online news site, The Intercept, which broke the news and put Google's top brass on the spot.
