Google doesn't have a search engine in China, and Bing does have a search engine in China.

  That is why Western companies should not be allowed to do business with dictatorships. It is not to sanction the regime. It is to save our own culture of freedom from being destroyed by business requirements enforced onto our companies by these regimes.

  Should not Bing have a separate/dedicated search engine in China? Does Bing has to censure US/World results from a well know fact to be allowed to operate in China? Because I have some difficulties to understand why Bing is censuring such fact outside the Great Firewall of China.

    Or maybe not censure it at all? Maybe say "Thanks, but no thanks" to the CCP?

      Then they would have to exit that market and I don't know about you but if I'm a shareholder in MSFT, losing on the 3rd biggest market in the world with massive growth potential doesn't seem like a good idea to me.

        This is the crux of the problem, the desire for personal wealth overcoming the ethical qualms that come with supporting dictators. I dare say that no ethical shareholder will fault Microsoft for making the decision to fight Chinse censorship. I also dare say that there are probably very few ethical shareholders in this world.
