Google China becomes my concern in these two month. And I’ve never been so obsessive about google.
Mar 22, 2010, Google official blog updated a new approach to China to stop censoring its search services—Google Search, Google News, and Google Images—on Google.cn. Google.cn is redirected to Google.com.hk.
There are two voices in China now.
1. Support google’s decision.
However, it’s only a small part of people in mainland China. They have their onw ways to visit the websites which are blocked in China. I belive that they are indeed well informed with different opinions in home and abroad. This group of people are more familiar with internet so they are able to learn some technics and find a way out to approach a different world outside.
2. Follow the national media in China.
Google China is a banned topic in China mainland now. No news and discussion are allowed, especially the supportive articles. Google China is described as a evil company in China by the natinal media news reports. I’ve been talking to some friends, they belived that google’s pull-out would not affect their life, google obviously made the worst choice in this matter.
For my company, we have our potential market overseas. Without google and its service we are using, our business will greatly affected. Anyway, I really appreciate the suggestion from google for using VPN and proxies. If your business is in the same circumstance, read it here.
I am a Chinese, I love my country and my people. But sometimes I wish I could live in a place without a wall or restriction. Well, things make me frustrated and disappointed.
