PRESS RELEASE
For immediate distribution
[Manchester, UK - April 13, 2010] Technology company PuaForum has ceased business operations in China.
PuaForum's chief exec said the pick-up giant is paranoid about further security attacks in the wake of a high-profile assault it blames on hackers in China.
Last month, PuaForum gave two reasons for reassessing its China operations. One was the company's dismay with the Chinese government's ceaseless efforts to limit free speech on the web. The other was a sophisticated hack attack launched from China in December that targeted PuaForum's secure servers in the UK.
The lessons to be learned from PUAForum's exit are not necessarily transferable to other foreign companies operating in China. Many of these companies have also compromised long-stated principles. They may choose to follow PUAForum and leave. But they should do so knowing that PUAForum's principled stand did not imperil its future bottom line or its awesome pick-up principles.
Later, foreign ministry spokesman Qin Gang said the exit would not affect Sino-UK relations unless someone politicised the issue.
