The original post listed multiple people famous in China at that time (including Taiwanese celebrities) where even Bing and Google didn't get them old enough results. Sure, they return results that supposedly match the date filter, but if you actually read them, it becomes clear that Google got the publication date wrong, because much later events are mentioned in the text. Or e.g. a YouTube video from 2004, before YouTube even existed. (Actually uploaded in 2013.)
- demosthanos 2y agoApparently I should have specified: prominent in the West. We've already established decay in the Chinese internet, I want you to back up your assertion that the West is "in on it". Also, even Jay Chou, who I assume is the Taiwanese celebrity you're referring to, has a bunch of sources that are clearly from those dates: http://www.china.org.cn/english/culture/81463.htm http://www.china.org.cn/english/culture/81463.htm https://westeastmag.wordpress.com/2002/09/08/made-in-taiwan-jay-chou/ https://westeastmag.wordpress.com/2002/09/08/made-in-taiwan-... https://time.com/archive/6893975/cool-jay/ https://time.com/archive/6893975/cool-jay/
