Google vs. China: An Impasse?

Comments

Unrelatedly, Nixon in China (the opera) is being put on in Vancouver this week, and words cannot even begin to describe how awesome it is.

About time Google grew some fucking balls.

China has always been obstinate in a way that would make Bart Stupak blush from inadequacy. Dealing with them is best done at a distance.

Good. China should not be able to enjoy the fruits of an open and creative society while engaging in the very type of behavior that undermines it.

This is certainly big news here, but I get the feeling that most Chinese aren't really going to care.

Google's only got somewhere between 15% and 35% market share in China. They're like a larger Yahoo there.

China will just produce a shitty knockoff of Google and the rest of the world will let them do it. The craven multinationals that have been happy to do business with the commie Chinks deserve to be screwed six ways from Sunday by that regime.
