Google out, Bing in.
I’m not throwing Google any kudos for this, it’s purely to get ‘atta boys’ and it’s a business decision. They haven’t changed their liberal business morals. They’re frickin liberal lefties that want to get into data collection on individuals. They just got tired of the censorship in China. They totally submitted to it initially to help grow their business. They can all just go ‘bleep’ themselves.
Business all of kinds should pull out of COMMUNIST CHINA!
For some actual insight into communist China, read the book “Three Swans: Three Daughters on China” by Jung Chang.
The book is an autobiography written by the third daughter. Her grandmother was a warlord’s concubine, and her mother (and father) were high ranking officials in China’s communist party.
From the web, I have ... “A riveting tale of three generations spanning the end of Old China, Mao’s regime and the Japanese occupation. Chang chronicles the enormous changes in China since 1929 through her family’s story, which includes arrest during the Cultural Revolution, exile to the Sichuan wilderness and coming to terms with the bewildering state of China today. It’s quite a tale, wonderfully told without a trace of rancor or bitterness. Living in London since 1978, Chang visits her mother back in China every year. You can imagine Chang with notebook in hand back in the family apartment absorbed in the stories of her much-loved mother. The book opens with the statement, “At the age of 15 my grandmother became the concubine of a warlord general. It was 1929 and China was in chaos.”
Uh, isn’t Hong Kong in China now?
Did they pull out because of censorship (which they’ve never minded before) or because they got hacked?
