Some simple thought about how many ad views 20% of the (very large, and rapidly growing) Chinese search market gives you should be enough to convince you. I don't understand why they would want to choose to pull out then. Do google ceos hate their shareholders? | ||

Some one already posted facts that google is barely used in China. And I'm sure that if this had happened to any company, they would do the same. | ||

According to these results, one of the previous posters is correct, Google has about a 21% market share in China. Although it is not as dominant as Baidu, it is still _very_ substantial and Google would be losing a ton of money if it pulled out. | ||

Larry and Sergey (and Eric) are the controlling shareholders. The stock is structured in such a way that basically nobody else gets much of a vote. And Larry and Sergey are really, really keen on doing what they think is the Right Thing To Do. It's one of the reasons I accepted my offer almost four years ago.

Quote: "Baidu led in market share with 63.9% followed by Google at 31.3%." Noticeably higher than the round 20% I quoted (to be certain I wasn't overstating).

Note that this article is covering 2005-2006 data, so it's comparatively out of date. | ||

A friend of mine works for a government organisation in Sydney (I will not mention the organisation or his name, it is irrelevant). Anyways, a representative from google came to ask them/him for an "information sharing agreement". Here's a summary of what transpired. Google: "Hey, wouldn't it be great if you could give us your timetabling and traffic info so we can publish it to the masses? The masses prosper!" My friend (representative of organisation): "Wow that's a great idea google! Well, we don't want money for giving you this info but instead can we agree on some KPIs and/or SLA's and/or framework in regards to how/when this information is released" Google: "No" My friend: "But if the information will be issued in the public's interest then surely we have to set our a framework and performance criteria for serving the public. What do you expect? For us to just give you the info to do with as you please?" Google: "Yes" Summary: IMHO Google just wants to capture as much public (read: free) information as possible and turn it into business ventures. They're not interested in ANY of us. This is not about the freedom of anything... They were unsuccessful in coaxing China like they've done to most other government organisations. Boo hoo! | ||

I find it hard to believe google would pull out with a 30% market share at the most prime time to be in china unless there were other circumstances to go along with it. A bunch of script kiddies hitting gmail is not it. | ||

You think they don't have an equivalent? Free access to Youtube, Zoo porn, um other kinds of porn, gore and other internet treasure. Okay. What else? Democracy voting? Your population will vote for that guy media promotes, as simple as that and there is no other way. | ||
