Goojje (Chinese: 谷姐; pinyin: Gǔjiě, IPA: [ku˧˥tɕjɛ˨˩]) was a spoof website^{[citation needed]} of Google China, which encouraged the real site to stay online and comply with Internet censorship in the People's Republic of China.^[1] The site was created after Google executives publicly threatened to shut down the Chinese site following the Operation Aurora cyber attack on Google China,^[2] which some computer security experts believe may have come from within China as in the GhostNet cyber spying operation. Google China executives had also publicly condemned the necessity of filtering search results in line with the Golden Shield Project (also known as the Great Firewall of China), which some commentators have stated appears to run counter to Google's mantra, Don't be evil.^{[citation needed][clarification needed]}

Goojje, founded on January 14, 2010 also allowed searches to be run, but apparently uses Google and Baidu to do the actual searches. Google has demanded that Goojje stop using its logo, but Goojje refused until 2011.^[3]
