Eric Schmidt, the CEO of Google has said “something will happen soon” in relation to the company’s talks with the Chinese government.
According to a report by the Associated Press, Schmidt told a press conference in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday that talks are underway, but refused to release more details.
He said: “I can’t really say anything other than that we’re in active negotiations with the Chinese government, and there is no specific timetable. Something will happen soon.”
Just a matter of days ago however, the Chinese said there had been no negotiations with Google over the US company’s threat to leave the country.
In January Google said it could cease its business operations in China, after Google email accounts belonging to Chinese human rights activists were hacked.
