I would love to see the day when the entire world is united against China to give them lots of lessons in professional ethics before anything else, then in the way they treat their work force and in trade. If they pay what their people deserve, their prices cannot be so ridiculously low.

If they are afraid of the free flow of information, I’ve got bad news for them. The problem isn’t Google. The technology will bring such system to their knees.

Good for Google! I appreciate how it’s standing against them. Let’s not call it capitalism against China. People in China should be free to choose between Google and anything else the grandpas offer them in their country.

No, I don't think so. The stat that you cite in the post is a 1.3 percentage point growth in a year for Baidu—but those are Baidu's numbers. Baidu says they control 77% of the market, and Google only 17%, but independent analysts put Google's marketshare as high as 32%. .-= Jordan McCollum´s last blog ..Google Bucking Chinese Censorship After Cyber Attack =-.

Wow what a battle. The epitome of capitalism against China. I think Google is going to find themselves booted out of China at some point. And while there's probably a lot of opportunity there for Google, I'm sure there's a lot of opportunity elsewhere as well. .-= Josh Braaten´s last blog ..7 Examples of Good Web Design Page Layout =-.

Don’t you think it’s strange that Google’s sudden discovery and rejection of the practices of China comes on the heels of some very bad news regarding its share of the Chinese search market? My take on this matter is at this link: http://bit.ly/60MQZ7

The cyber attack was targeted and it’s worrying who/what they were going after. Its proper of Google to reconsider its initial position after this but from what I know of China’s track record, I’d say it’s the end of Google.cn.

I feel sorry for the poor folks who worked hard to get Google.cn to where it is today but it’s better to make a dignified exit than to have Google.cn full of holes.
