Google accused the government of China last January a series of attacks on their systems occurred in December, which caused unprecedented tension between a U.S. multinational and the Beijing regime and the Cyber attacks on Google.

Thus, the attacks 'pirate' to Google was "part of a coordinated campaign of computer sabotage was carried out by government agents, private security experts and others hired outside the Chinese government."
Also, the messages show how the Chinese embassy knew "went into U.S. government computers and Western allies on the Dalai Lama (a fact already known since 2009) and in U.S. companies since 2002." Any confirmation of U.S. suspicions to the Chinese government's direct involvement in the 'cyber cold war' and the Cyber attacks on Google.
When Google protested and threatened to discontinue their activities in China following those attacks (for which he also claimed to be against the strict censorship of the country), the U.S. government supported his view despite the persistent refusal of the regime in Beijing , which took pains to deny that he was behind any cyber attack.
