China In the Habit of Copying and Redirecting US Sites?

Posted by Zonk on from the not-the-way-you-play-the-game dept.

Want to know why US web companies have trouble making it in China? gaz_hayes passed us a link to the blog commiepod, which suggests that successful US websites are targeted by 'Chinese government backed companies.' "These companies copy the site, deploy it on a .cn domain, and then DNS poison or forcefully lower the bandwidth the US site. Just a few weeks ago google.com and google.cn were DNS poisoned across the entire Chinese internet and were being redirected to their Chinese competitor Baidu. This probably explains Google's 3rd quarter market share in China." This is a fairly serious accusation; anyone else have first-hand experiences that would back this up?

    Chinese children work all day to put lead in our children's toys.

    Don't mess with a good thing.

    Mod up please.

    'Fascism should rightly be called Corporatism, as it is the merger of corporate and government power.'
    'All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state. '

    Two descriptions of Fascism by Benito Mussolini which apply to today's USA perfectly. Though as you rightly point out meaning of the word Fascist has been lost on those who nowadays use it merely as an insult. Those same people are those who usually cannot accept that USA is the archetypal Fascist state, in my view even more Fascist than Italy ever was in the 20s.
    Fixed. You are welcome.
