A recent high-tech assault on the Internet search engine Google has led the company to re-examine its relationship with China.

It is a difficult decision. China has the world's fastest- growing economy. Its people benefit from Internet services offered by Western companies.

But concerns that the Chinese government is behind the cyber attacks have forced Google to not only re-examine its relationship with China, but have led to a U.S. government investigation of the charges.

Google has long been concerned about China's censorship laws, even though it agreed to ban sites at the government's request. For example, searches for the "Tiananmen Square massacre" or the "Dalai Lama" come up blank on Google's China Web. But this latest assault, which also targeted other Western Internet companies, has given Google pause.

The attack was initially said to have targeted Gmail accounts of Chinese dissidents. Those accounts are hosted outside of China and provide an extra layer of encryption.

But the company has since disclosed that the highly sophisticated attacks - believed to have been coordinated by the Chinese government - targeted Google's intellectual property as well as that of 34 other companies, most of which are located in Silicon Valley. The malicious software used in the attacks allows it unauthorized access to secret files and protocols.

The federal government has long been wary of China's cyber- spying programs. It is believed the Chinese have not only hacked into the systems of private companies, but also have acquired U.S. military data.

James McGregor, a business consultant in Beijing, told The New York Times "there's a sense China is saying, 'We have your technology and your capital - and now we have control of the market.' "

The Chinese government has restricted the sale of foreign books, movies and other media as it fights a ruling by the World Trade Organization that such policies violate China's alleged commitment to international free trade.

Google is right to contemplate leaving China. Last Tuesday, the company announced it was delaying the launch of two new types of mobile phones in China because of the uncertainty surrounding its future in China.

The Chinese government argues that ways can be found to keep Google in the country.

But China has forced other companies into ethical compromises. For example, the government prosecuted dissidents after Yahoo supplied the government with emails from those accounts.

The fact that China holds a great deal of U.S. debt further complicates any negotiations between the two countries.

In the past, American companies quietly tolerated China's authoritarian policies as a way to do business with the Asian giant.

Google's willingness to go public with charges and to suggest it may pull out of China represents a new chapter in this enterprise.

The Chinese have long sought respect from the international business community. But unless China's leaders change the way the do business, the nation stands to lose whatever prestige it has earned.
