Google Losing Ground in China?
TG writes "Yahoo is running an article about a recent study released by a Chinese Internet research group that shows Google losing market share to their Chinese rival, Baidu.com. From the article: 'The survey, conducted by the Beijing-based China Internet Network Information Center, reported that Baidu.com Inc. boosted its market share in Beijing by 10.8 percentage points to 52 percent. Google Inc.'s share was at 33 percent, as the American Internet search engine kept its customer base steady while the overall market grew, said the survey, seen Tuesday on CNNIC's Web site.'" Factual analysis or results driven by self interest?
Nah. The Chinese government is corrupt and repressive, not lawless. They're not about to let anything like that happen on their watch. The murder of foreigners is frowned upon, to say the least (even by other foreigners).
The Chinese are only proud of their country because they, too, have been indoctrinated. Please remember Tiananmen Square, and never ever forget that it was done under the SAME administration as there is now in China. Then, consider their freedom. Anyone can be proud of something if they don't care why they are, or what it does to them.
