Google is all about research and development. With the launch of many new facilities around the world, Google is planning on stepping up its efforts in Shangai with the opening of a research and development center.

This new Google R&D facility is supposedly going to be aimed at building a more effective search business in China. Yahoo, Microsoft and Google have all faced numerous political struggles with moving into the area, and had to censor results in their engines. This new move will hopefully prove to the political members that Google is serious about doing business in that country.

Marsha Wang, a Google representative in China has confirmed the plans, but has declined to say how many people the new facility will employ, and when it will be completed.
