Not so new news

Google.China announced that their co-ceo Mr. Chou will leave Google.China by the end of this year.
Mr. Chou joined Google.China to help co-ceo Kai-Fu Lee to run the business side of the China operation for Google. In contract, he has outlasted Yahoo's China operation Chief Mr. Xie who resigned in just one month on that post.

Rumor has been running for month about the departure. Reason for both cases said to be alike in that their plans were overruled by each of their respective US head.

Google said the position would NOT be filled soon.
