Yay, some good news these days.

I have to give a big high-five to Google for this. And anyone else find China's threat kind of odd? I mean...what are they going to do? Murder someone?

Ban Google from China.

 

There are other search engines in China, so it won't really matter at all. I'm going to be so glad once the people's republic of China falls.

So Google will soon be banned from China, and somebody else is going be able to sell Chinese eyeballs to advertisers.

The real question is whether or not anybody in China cares, or if they're too busy building an enourmous economy while the rest of the world struggles to get back to growth.

High-five to Google?

They cooperated with the Chinese government in censoring Google for the Chinese market. Now that they got some problems of their own (getting hacked allegedly by Chinese hackers) they want to pull out. They're not doing it for the Chinese people.

I say fuck Google and fuck the Chinese government. They're both acting solely in their own interest here.

China will almost certainly block google.

And the cyber attack was suspected to be done by Chinese authorities. Google got pissed off and this is them retaliating I think.

Yeah, the targets that were hit were VERY telling.

You'd be surpised.

The economic downturn actually hit China hard too.  They're just better at hiding it.  They were hit pretty hard in 08 and 09 as well.

It's easier to "fix" your economy when you are highly involved in what sells.

China can pretty much hit any growth rate it wants within reason... the question is... how much will it help or hurt in the future.  They're aiming for 8% right now.
