Google looks worse the longer they keep censoring results. Once they made their decision, they should have realized that there was no point in "negotiations" with a government that enthusiastically shoots dissidents. They should have gotten all non-Chinese employees out of the country as discreetly as possible, then simultaneously turned off google.cn filtering and issued their public statement.
- baguasquirrel 17y agoThe folks working in the China office have extended families and lives that are rooted in their country. You can't expect to uproot everyone, and for them to like it. Their action was appropriate. Because the China employees were left in the dark, they can say they had no part in it (important not to look like a dissident here), and they can leave while saving face.
