Google tomorrow will hide where

March 23 morning, Google announced to stop in accordance with Chinese law against harmful information filtering, search services, go to Hong Kong from mainland China. At this point, since January 12 this year, has been stirred up by Google's "Google to withdraw from China" event seems to have an end. But this conclusion makes surprise, Google's actions not only failed to show a multinational should be mature, and even a little child like childish pique.

Because offshore company has been to politicize the issue of commercial high-profile of Google, and not as it had spread as truly "out of China", but its business transferred to Hong Kong on the mainland. Earth people know that Hong Kong is part of China, even if the SAR different from the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong also binding on the business of legal wrongdoing, but somewhat more robust. If one of Google's business practices contrary to local laws in Hong Kong, the Government and certainly not the case; if Google someday companies in Hong Kong also were attacked by hackers, and say that they are government-sponsored Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Government will probably not dry.

This point, is also Google's fellow colleagues in China, Microsoft has developed two decades much more than it wants to awake. January 25, Microsoft founder Bill Gates on the Google event to accept the U.S. media, there was a right that Google's behavior puzzles, did not know "They are trying to say?" Gates said, "You have to make a decision : If you are willing to abide by the laws in your country, you can leave business, unwilling to comply, where you do business may not have a good ending. "Gates also stressed that:" A person may not agree with China law, but almost all countries have some of the controversial nature of the law or policy, including the United States. "" Now, if Google to opt out of the United States, that I did admire it. "Gates, if not without irony.

Google is indeed the decisions made now, "admired", but if Google continues to develop this concept, it can hide in Hong Kong today, tomorrow and then a problem where it does have to hide?
