""We believe that the decision that we made to follow the law in  
China was absolutely the right one," Schmidt said at a news conference.
He said Google had to accept restrictions in order to serve China,  
which has the world's second-largest population of Internet users  
after the United States, with more than 111 million people online.

Schmidt also announced the creation of a research center in Beijing  
that he said should have 150 employees by mid-2006 and "eventually  
thousands of people." He said the center is meant to create products  
for markets worldwide, though he said planning was still in such an  
early stage that he didn't know what they might be."
