How Google is Communist China's collaborator: Ventures Benefit the People's Liberation Army
Washington Times ^ | 08/02/2019 | Gordon Chang

On Wednesday, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin declared that Google’s work in China is not a security concern. As he told CNBC, “I don’t see any area — again the president and I did diligence on this issue — and we’re not aware of any areas where Google is working with the Chinese government in any way that raises concerns.”

No concerns at all?

Google’s most disturbing Chinese initiatives involve the co-development of technology. Cooperation of this sort is so injurious to the United States that it should be criminalized, by emergency presidential order.

Google, the Alphabet Inc. unit, also believes its projects in China are benign. “We are not working with the Chinese military,” a Google spokesperson said in the middle of March.

The denial was clear and unambiguous. It was, as far as is publicly known, true.

Google’s words, however, were exceedingly deceptive. Google is a participant in ventures in China that it must know directly benefit the People’s Liberation Army, the military of the Communist Party.

Google has two cooperative partnerships and one investment that are of special concern. First, the company runs the Google AI China Center, established in 2017 in Beijing.

Second, Google is participating in AI research at Tsinghua University, one of China’s two premier institutions, and is working with Peking University, the other top institution.

All three ventures are nominally civilian.

So why is Google’s categorical denial deceptive? In China today, Xi Jinping, the ambitious ruler, has vigorously promoted a trend he inherited from Hu Jintao, his predecessor: “civil-military fusion.” “Fusion,” as the word implies, means all civilian research is pipelined into the military.

Patrick Shanahan, when he was acting Defense secretary, discussed Mr. Xi’s policy. “The fusion of commercial business with military is significant,”

This morning I was doing some searches regarding Hong Kong and ALL (100%) of the top links Google spewed out came from “news” sources owned, directed or controlled by the Communist Party and Government of China. Accident? I think not.

Google working with Communist Red China.
Google helping Communist Red China, control/limit its people.
Google aiding Communist Red China deployment of said technology within USA and internationally.

The _algorithm_ which determines what user “search” activities output, as search “results”. Said search-result algorithm is confidently: massive and extremely complicated, since it doesn’t actually search in a pure way. The algorithm distorts search-results, parsing search requests, recognizing search subjects. Results are manipulated, ideologically. Mapping the search to results based on the ideology of China, Google, other globalists...

Google, fake results.

In order to set up shop in China Google had to give the PLA access to all Google’s data and technology. Google is effectively an arm and resource of the PLA and the Party. Same for Apple.
