> Why is it unethical to launch a censored search product in China? No, it's ethical in the government's views. However, then why do people in China would going to use such search engine knowing it's as bad as Baidu currently is? Actually, to understand the problem here, you need to know who are the main user of Google in China: The progressives (maybe overly simplified, but these people are who actually sicked with Google for a very long time). And most of them also very sensitive to those bad things Google did in the recent years. Plus, in the long run, a local Chinese company (Baidu for example) can bring far better benefit to the government compare to a foreign one, AND without causing any headache worrying about the company could become too strong to control. So, Google just can't win the battle with local giants. If Google re-enters China, the only thing they can probably be succeed, is to make Baidu fear again thus stop doing it's shitty business.
