Say Goodbye to Google China

Guess lots of fans in China have noticed about the news for few days. Not very surprised to see the result as I myself felt depressed when I was using Google services back in China. One great morning you woke up as usual. Boiled a cup of coffee and sit in front of your laptop. Opened up Gmail trying to check out what’s new in your mailbox and found nothing but 404 error page. Gmail was blocked. Okay, fine, let’s get some video and found Youtube still outside the Great Wall. Where’s my documents? Google Docs was blocked and where to get my latest essay? It’s great to have a backup in your disk and even better to have a VPN software around.

Lots of people in China feel bad when Google announced that they will leave. It’s a great shock to China and the Internet. People in China without a VPN on their hand will feel that the technology back to 10 years ago and the rest Chinese company will be grateful and speed up their profits. It’s a war between government and people not in terms of weapon but will. And people fail and ended up with worse equipment. That’s it.

That spell the end to Google in China. Moreover, google find it hard to compete in the china market due to other popular site that are similar to google services such as tudou.com

China Failed!

Losing a market of 1/5 of the population of the world means a lot and needs great courage. Let's wait and see what's going to happen to China and the world.

China is one hell of strange country. They said they are Democratic, but they are also Dictatorship! And there are also Socialist! And, only one party, Communist.

I am not Chinese, for me China is a weird country.

Google the giant must face the another giant.

Thank you, Google. A company that lives up to its motto - imagine that! One hopes in the end that a compromise solution of some sort can be worked out so that Chinese citizens have access to Google and Google has continued access to an important market, but if not, so be it. Perhaps only Google is large enough to lead such a line in the sand effort; hoepfully others will follow and China elects to join the global network in earnest. As a publically held company, this is neither an automatic nor easy decision for Google to begin down this path. Good on ya!
