China is in consultations with technology giant Google <GOOG.O> to resolve its dispute with the company, which has threatened to abandon the Chinese market over hacking and censorship concerns, said a Chinese official on Friday.
The comment came from Li Yizhong, minister of China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology , speaking on the sidelines of China’s annual parliament.
Google sent shockwaves across business and political circles when it declared on Jan. 12 it would stop censoring Chinese search results, and said it was considering pulling out of the country.
