　　人民网北京1月19日电 据法新社消息，当地时间18日下午，在宣布退出中国市场、员工停止工作一周后，美国网络巨头谷歌再次表示在中国的业务恢复正常运转。

　　“在发表声明之后，我们给公司职员放了一段长假，以便运行测试和扫描，保证网络的安全可靠” ，谷歌在回复法新社的询问中说，“谷歌中国的职员现在都已经回到工作岗位，一切业务正常运行。”

　　上周，新京报报道称谷歌中国的工程师不再能进入公司的全球数据库，不能正常工作。

　　美国国务院发言人克劳利15日宣布，最早可能在下周初将就谷歌事件向中国发出外交照会。这位发言人说，“它将表达我们对这一事件的关注，并要求中国提供信息，解释这一事件是如何发生的，以及他们准备怎么处理这一问题。”

　　对此，中国表示谷歌事件不会影响中美关系，但是谷歌必须遵守中国的法律。商务部发言人上周五说，外国公司应该“尊重东道国的法律、公共利益、文化和传统，并为此承担社会责任”。

BEIJING — Google is checking whether any of its China staff helped hackers lead a major cyberattack against the US Internet giant, which is now mulling whether to leave the country, a report said Tuesday.

The Wall Street Journal, citing unidentified sources, said the internal network access of some of Google's 700-odd employees in China had been cut off for the duration of the internal investigation.

It was not immediately clear if Google had found evidence to link any of its China-based staff to either the theft of its intellectual property or alleged attempts to access Gmail accounts of Chinese dissidents.

Google said Monday it was "business as usual" in China and its employees were at work, after local media reports that some staff had seen their access to Google's global network cut off and could no longer work.

The company last week announced it was considering abandoning its Chinese search engine, and could shut its China offices, over theft of its intellectual property by hackers, believed to have been based in China.

Google says it is no longer willing to bow to Chinese Internet censors by filtering search results on google.cn, but is still seeking talks with Beijing on a solution.

The United States has asked for an explanation from Beijing over the Google dispute. China says the row will not affect Sino-US ties, but has also insisted that Google and other foreign Internet firms must obey its laws.

The Foreign Correspondents' Club of China said Monday that expatriate journalists in a "few" bureaus in Beijing had discovered that their Gmail accounts had been hacked, with messages forwarded to a stranger's account.
