> Love it when Americans make decisions for Chinese people and presume to know what they'd want.
This is a discussion about Google (an American company) employees talking about one of Google's projects (as directed by the American company's leadership), but it happens to be about a product for another country.

As many folks in China use VPNs to get around the Great Firewall, it seems like they would like an uncensored internet.
- hrdwdmrbl 8y agoOh certainly I think they're like an uncensored internet but unfortunately Google is not going to cause that to happen. Even with an uncensored Google you still wouldn't be able to access the links. It should also be said that while many Chinese do have VPN they are often pretty bad (SLOW!) and often break. They are also only used by more sophisticated users or enthusiastic users. Most people are too lazy to bother, cost is a consideration or they are not technical enough. I do give shout-out to Google for Outline VPN though. That is them actually doing something that is changing the game
