China tells Web companies to obey controls.

In China's first official response to Google's threat to leave the country, the government Thursday said foreign Internet companies are welcome but must obey the law and gave no hint of a possible compromise over Web censorship.

Foreign ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu, without mentioning Google by name, said Beijing prohibits e-mail hacking, another issue cited by the company. She was responding to questions about Google at a regular ministry briefing.

"China's Internet is open," Jiang said. "China welcomes international Internet enterprises to conduct business in China according to law."

Google Inc. said Tuesday it would stop censoring search results in China and might shut down its China-based Google.cn site, citing attempts to break into accounts on its Gmail service used by human rights activists.

"China's Internet is open," Jiang said. "China welcomes international Internet enterprises to conduct business in China according to law."
