Chinese Reactions to Google Maybe Leaving China

You’ve probably heard the news that Google may leave China. A few folks asked me how the Chinese feel about it, so we dug around a couple Chinese Internet message boards to get some responses.

If you haven’t been following the story, these news articles provide great background informaiton:

- Statement from Google: A new approach to China from the Washington Post.
- Google’s New Approach to China from GlobalVoices Advocacy.
- China: Clinton Internet speech harms ties with US from Yahoo! News.

Before reading what we have below, go check China Smack’s, Say Goodbye to Google China? Chinese Reactions, which contains great translations and more article links.

In the following translations from a tt.mop.com message board posting by azheng270, Harmony refers to Chinese government censorship and TG and Celestial Dynasty refer to the government.

I’ve been using google services, I like google, Google China has been working on it as well.
Many Chinese Internet users like me know the truth that google’s going to leave
In fact, no matter what, we do not want google really leaving us.
Everyone in type in google search bar “google Do not leave”
I hope google can fight on in Chinese Internet at this so called “harmony”

一位Google员工及韩寒对Google退出中国的看法
I had also prepared the other manuscripts, but the recent release other information not in the mood. We still continue to focus on Google out of things in China bar.

And here is a transcript from a video interview of Han Han, a young Chinese car racer and writer, on China’s Tudou video sharing site. In this transcript, the fifty cents party refers to people who are paid half a Chinese yuan per Internet message board post supporting Chinese government policy, and Phoenix is a Hong Kong based broadcaster. His interview is no longer available on Tudou.

China’s Internet has become the largest local area network
by Han Han:

The following is the text Record, thanks @ chenshaoju @ melodyskiing @ zypatroon of labor:

I just want to tell Google, a good one.

Then I feel that Google itself, he was at home doing a lot of things, I personally have very much appreciated. Whether it’s to go and stay, I think this is it they have to decide.

I am of course sorry, in terms of Facebook, Youtube, is also included to assume that Google is now gone, then all of the international best internet stations have left us, but I personally In fact, for many of Google’s behavior with their spiritual, then do not bother you are a business holding head, not holding commercial purposes, which I think is not important, because if you are holding commercial purposes, at the same time you can go to the benefit of others, of course, the best.

It’s not like here in many parts of China, you holding commercial purposes, you go to harm others, being the case, we want people to earn money, why do not you choose a benefit of others do?

So I can say is quite regrettable that all the world’s best internet stations have to leave us, the Chinese Internet has become one the world’s largest local area network.

If so, I think anyway, quite unfortunately, we stepped up technology anyway - whether it is over the wall, or with other technologies, we are strengthening the bar anyway.

Because the trend is concerned, these, we have all of these, including young friends, the media, including young people grow up, you have a more open media, more voices, and this historical trend is not stopped, any block of this the historical trend, in a few years later, will be ridiculed by others, so a good go.

be careful with fifty cents Party
Google announced a possible withdrawal of China, and netizens have since discussed this topic. Allows Chinese Internet users to speak in the community, I see a lot of support for Google’s remarks, see a lot of people seen that the nature of Google to leave.

However, there are a lot of the media deliberately misleading Internet users, Google deliberately ugly, or even using some of distorted values to judge the matter.

Readers read the report online should be careful when these arguments:

1. Google Book Search can not because the Chinese writers to reach an agreement to withdraw from shame to China

2. Google’s technology, not strong enough, was been extracted China Baidu

3. Google tried to use business to interfere in China’s internal affairs

4. no Google, China Internet still strong

5. China’s Internet is fully open

A party newspaper editor told me that he could not stand the newspaper recently slandered Google, distorting the facts, intend to resign. I think we should give him applause.

The following article is about what really happened with google China, many people think it’s the truth why google is leaving, and the article got deleted not long after posted. A netizen saved the screenshot for more people to read. http://www.yupoo.com/photos/zoom?id=ff8080812626f15a012632dc592770f3
The main point of this article is that TG sent spies in google and they stole open source and coding send to TG for controlling the human right activist’s movements. The pornographic was the reason for them to leave. Because of this stealing code incident, google feels threaten about the whole company being destroyed and bankrupt. So they decided to leave China anyways.

Even the sun can not stand what happened with google China and appeared in the event of the millennium a black hole. Shit.

Look up the news on Phoenix, we can not trust any of these ”media” anymore

Old
Do you know who owns Phoenix?

Irvin
I heard Phoenix has TG police background, just heard about it!

cj_sd
It’s a public secret for years
N7
Track Phoenix IP, it’s coming from the same IP of CCTV and it’s not in HK anymore, it’s in BJ

I think these Internet message board postings give a bit of insight as to how China’s Internet-savvy younger generation view this issue.

For my part, it’s difficult for me to imagine Google being allowed to stay in China. But I sure hope I’m wrong.
