So how does Microsoft manage it? Bing and other Microsoft properties are accessible in China.
- chaostheory 3y agoMost likely because China relies on Windows? I don’t know and it’s a moot point. All I know is that there has been a large swath of US and other Western companies that are barred from doing business in China. That’s a fact. As to why, it’s likely protectionism for local mainland companies who wouldn’t have been able to compete.
- throw382747 3y agoThe "why" is because Microsoft and Apple follow Chinese laws. Just like Tesla, Ford, and GM follow Chinese laws and can operate in China. The other companies refused to follow Chinese laws, so they aren't allowed to do business in China.
- chaostheory 3y agoAs I’ve already mentioned multiple times, other companies tried to comply with CCP laws but they were blocked out anyways.
- xtian 3y agoWhat’s a specific example?
- chaostheory 3y agoI’ve already listed one news article with specific examples. One can find more over the past decade. I don’t have the burden of proof. That’s on you since this is common knowledge in the West
- xtian 3y agoBurden of proof would fall upon the person making the claim. Appealing to the cultivated state of general ignorance in the West does not absolve you of this. In fact, the article you reference supports my position since it cites “restrictive laws and regulations” as the reason these companies do not operate in China.
- chaostheory 3y ago1. I’ve already provided proof 2. It’s already a well known and accepted phenomenon The burden of proof is still on you since you’re making a claim that goes against accepted facts, while NOT providing anything concrete to back it up. We’re not getting anywhere. there is no point in continuing this conversation
- xtian 3y agoI didn’t make a claim, I asked how Western companies were blocked. But my evidence that Western companies are not blocked is that Apple and Microsoft operate in China. Uber operated there as well but lost to local competition. Phrenology was well known and documented also.

- xtian 3y ago“Cut a deal” or maybe they followed local laws
