- seanmcdirmid 9y agoYes, but google still has other business in china (android, selling ads to Chinese customers). They sacrificed their web search business, but not everything else.
- dwringer 9y agoI apologize for my misleading statements. From my amateur reading of the coverage at the time, I had no idea of this; I appreciate the additional information.
- sidibe 9y agoI'm pretty sure nothing Google-related works in China. Youtube/search/gmail etc. are all blocked. They have Android phones but no Google services on them. They do sell ads there but to companies targeting Chinese people outside of China.
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoThey just recently opened a new office in Shenzhen, so something is going on, but I mostly agree.
- yorwba 9y agoThere are a few services that work. Google Translate is available, and you can connect to gmail using an email client instead of the website.
