THE Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has not yet received a request from Google for talks, Vice Minister Miao Wei said yesterday.
Google's had never filed reports over alleged Internet regulation and cyber attacks to the ministry or requests for negotiations, Miao said on the sidelines of China's annual session of the National People's Congress, the country's top legislature.
The Internet search giant also had never informed the ministry that it was planning to withdraw from China, the official added.
Google's corporate development and chief legal officer, David Drummond, said in January disputes with the Chinese government on Internet regulation and major cyber attacks on his company, which allegedly originated from China, had forced Google to consider exiting China.
Miao said the Chinese government bans and detests hacking. "We never support hacking attacks because China also falls victim to hacking attacks."
"If Google has evidence that the attacks came from China, the Chinese government will welcome them to provide the information and will severely punish the offenders according to law."
Miao added China has its own domestic situation and cultural tradition, and it follows common practice that China regulates the Internet according to its laws and policies.
He said the Chinese government would continue to provide a sound investment environment for overseas investors, including Internet companies, and protect their legitimate rights.
"If Google decides to continue its business in China and abides by its laws, it's welcome to stay," the Vice Minister added.
"If the company chooses to withdraw from the Chinese market, it must go through certain procedures according to the law and regulations and deal with customers' problems that may arise."
