Bullshit article. Apparently the author doesnt know what “authoritative government “ means.
All the Chinese government would need to do is fine google, and pull the plug on google. Simple as that. When it comes to China’s censorship laws, it’s very hard to overcome them if damn near impossible.
And quite frankly, most Chinese citizens could care less. Baidu and other services gives them what they need. Those who care get a VPN, and that includes Chinese businesses.
Author has never stepped foot in china or talked to its people. Google doesn’t stand a chance if they go against censorship laws, and they know it. They don’t care.
- blacksmith_tb 8y agoI don't know what "authoritative government" means either... was that supposed to be "authoritarian"? I am not sure I follow the argument, though - yes, it's true that the Beijing could just pull the plug on Google Lite(tm), but there would be some international PR damage. I doubt it would stop them, but it would at least influence the decision. But I do agree that the overall sense I get of Chinese citizens is not that they are chafing at the level of control they live under, it's all bread and circuses, cashless WeChat fun.
