Not me, with China I know exactly what I'm dealing with. A giant who doesn't pretend to be nice but is quite open about it's policies and it's agenda.
That is a stupid comment and you are a stupid person for making it. China has for many years preached about how great it would be to do business with them, how they are turning their IP law around, blah blah blah. It's all been lies. Now, show us the lie Google told.
This opposed to google who tries really REALLY hard to be seen as the world's nicest and biggest friend but of which I have no idea of the hidden agenda behind it.
Companies don't have agendas; people do. That should scare you more than anything else about google; it's possible for them to be destroyed by a government who then takes over their operation (or hands it to a sympathetic party.) But that's not so much a problem with Google as with corporatism.
In google's case. Put your money where your mouth is and gtfo of China, then we'll talk again.
You're not very well-acquainted with diplomacy, are you? It probably went like this: "Stop attacking our servers or we'll pull out. You're forcing us to censor searches which makes us look bad anyway." "Yeah, you'll pull out of your mom maybe, I'd like to see you do it." So now Google is proving that they are serious by going public. Odds are, China will change nothing, and Google will really have to withdraw. But "have to" is a relative term. If they can't make money there, then there's no point in being there. If the government is attacking Google (they probably are) then Google really has no choice but to give up and go home, because ultimately you can't defend against any such attack without the assistance of the government.
