Google to open office in China?

To find this news was a bit of a digging process - but I received it via the Searchblog, who, on the other hand, received it from Paid Content.

Google, with all the challenges they are facing in China, has finally been granted permission to open an office in China. It's a Google World, after all, isn't it? Great services, great expansion.

Interfax writes that "Chinese authorities have green-lighted Google's plans to open the company's first office in Mainland China, which will allow the world's largest search engine to further localize its operations, but will also significantly intensify competition in China's online search market." Which is never a bad thing!

Keep on googling!
