Summary:

The case is based on publicly reported events surrounding Google's acquisition of its Chinese domain name (Google.cn). Both Google and the Chinese government seemed to struggle to find an outcome that would be acceptable to their constituents. On the one hand, Google sought to appease its shareholders while preserving its reputation for free access to information and the goodwill of its users. The Chinese government had to balance competing desires for access to cutting-edge search technology and the contribution of that technology to economic development with concern that liberal access to information would undermine its political-economic model.
