Google Set to Resume Talks With Chinese Officials

Google representatives are scheduled to resume discussions in coming days with Chinese officials about the fate of Google's China business, said people briefed on the matter.

The schedule and the status of the talks, which are being picked up after a break for the Chinese New Year holiday, are unclear. Among the range of Google officials handling the talks on the ground is Google policy executive Ross LaJeunesse, said people familiar with the matter. Any resolution to the matter of whether Google will be able to operate an unfiltered search engine in the country is likely to be weeks away, said one of the people.
