There’s a very clear reason, they don’t follow Chinese censorship and data laws. Both Google and Facebook once operated in China, but after the multiple terrorist attacks, they were unwilling (or unable) to comply with Chinese laws. That’s why Skype and iMessage are available in China, they comply with Chinese laws.

> but after the multiple terrorist attacks, 'Terrorist attacks' from who exactly? When French or Polish resistance members assassinated Germans, I bet the Nazis thought that was 'terrorism.' The Chinese government likes to cry and moans about 'terrorism' from Tibetans and Uyghurs, but the CCP are the real terrorists in these situations. Any American company that cooperates with them are abetting genocide.

  Does your knowledge of Xinjiang and Tibet come from your own eyes, or from Western media propaganda?

    I gleefully criticize my government. Do you dare publicly criticize yours?

      It's easy to let people criticize when their criticism has no real impact, and they're gonna have to vote between the same two parties anyways... The main difference is that the Chinese only have one party -- which means they don't have to pretend their votes matter which might even be seen as an improvement (at least honesty wise).

If you are naive enough to believe that the Chinese government sensors foreign internet companies so that they can protect their citizens from “terrorism”, I have a bridge to sell you..... Let’s be real, the Chinese government only wants to allow internet companies that will allow them to monitor all communication and traffic between Chinese citizens so that they can stamp out any dissent. But dissent and disagreement is not terrorism. It’s both creepy and Orwellian.
