In China's first official response to Google's threat to leave the country, the government says foreign Internet companies are welcome, but must obey the law and gave no hint of a possible compromise over web censorship.
Foreign ministry spokesperson, Jiang Yu, without mentioning Google by name, says Beijing prohibits email hacking, another reason cited by Google for possibly shutting down its China operation.
Jiang gave no indication whether the government had talked with Google. Meanwhile, the state Xinhua News Agency said earlier officials were seeking more information about its announcement.

NGOs committed to fighting HIV/AIDS in China will soon get legal status to operate, as the government is considering legally recognising these organizations. That’s according to experts close to the situation.
Secretary general of the government-backed Chinese Association of AIDS and STD Prevention and Control, Shen Jie, notes that these efforts will help the fight against AIDS.
Shen further says that, "If realized, that will not only facilitate the work of these organisations but also give a long-term boost to China's anti-HIV/AIDS efforts."

China has expressed interest in sharing its electricity generation technology and expertise with South Africa and its neighbours, all of which are in need of more generating capacity.
China Electricity Council International’s (CEC), Liu Dongye, says that the country is offering its world-class technology and equipment which it believes will go a long way in meeting South Africa’s requirement of 55000MW of electricity capacity by 2025 to satisfy its economic and social development needs.
Liu has been quoted as saying that, “It is not that China wants to only buy raw materials from this continent or to provide credit lines for big projects, it also wants to share its technology and expertise for the development of Africa and to benefit its people.”
“Such a deal will be a commercial transaction, not aid,” maintains Liu.
