It's bullshit. The man tightens his lips and pushes up his chin every time he doesn't believe what he just said. In particular:
Drummond: "With what we know now - that there's been an attack that's targeted towards Chinese dissidents, we just no longer, in good conscience, can continue to censor ourselves."
Kudlow: "You're saying those conversations [with the Chinese government] are ahead of you, not behind you?"
Drummond: "I think that's correct."
Drummond: "Our revenue from the China business are truly immaterial [face relaxed], so it's not going to have an effect on our core business, one way or the other. [lips tight]"
And, of course, the last bit about this being something about "noble, American, capitalism". But what's more upsetting, IMO, is how painfully obvious Kudlow's avoidance of the question regarding Google's talks with China between December and now have been. He plays along like this is a move without any Google/China back-story. What crap!
- ntoshev 17y agoHe showed signs of stress, but I interpreted it as pressure not to say something he is not allowed to. Also he showed a lot of contempt for the Chinese government and some towards the journalist (after "I'm glad to be here"). Also he was happy to hear the last part about Google taking highly moral position - I think he believes it.
