Google Thinking To Leave China
Not received by the sensor system increasingly tightened in China, Google is thought to no longer provide services for Internet users in China. That means, Google will lose market share in the world’s largest. However, Google seems determined to realize this decision.
Google announced the steps it up in the middle of the growing tensions mounting between the U.S. China-related freedom surf. Next week, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton plans to announce the latest technology policies that help people in other countries have web access without censorship.
Meanwhile, Google says it found a sophisticated attack on the email account China’s human rights activists use the Gmail service, and more than 20 other companies have the same attack.
Findings of any attack, as well as strict supervision in restraint of free speech via the web for many years to re-think about Google’s business operations in China.
Most likely, this will push Google plans to stop operations in China with closing Google.cn.
Google also seems to not be feeling too much to lose if this decision be implemented. The problem, though Google dominates the Internet in almost all over the world, is not the case with China. Countries with 360 million Internet users that do not provide an opportunity for Google to prevail.
China is the only country where Google is not the number one position in the search engine market share. Local search site Baidu beat Google with a market share of 60 percent, while Google only got 30 percent share.
This condition is becoming worse with Google shares fall 1.3 percent in just over half an hour after the news of the closure of Google China plans to circulate. In contrast, Baidu shares actually benefited from the increase of 6.8 percent.
