Auto-Censoring Google Version in China
As google starts to establish a foothold in China, the Chinese government has posed a number of restrictions on the search giant. And Google has paid a high price to remain in the lucrative market.
One of which will be removing some listing from its search result. This is actually inconsistent with Google’s mission. But not able to provide any information at all for the Chinese is worse than anything.
In fact, Google has also bought a small share of www.baidu.com. For info, Baidu is currently the leading search engine in China.
Google’s site in China will be called www.google.cn.
We have also started preparing for the Chinese market. While my partner has plans to start web hosting in China, I intend to start a China web directory. I have called it www.chinadirectory1.com. Its the best name I have found. Other names like:
- www.chinadirectory.com
- www.china-directory.com
- www.chinawebdirectory.com
Are all gone. =)
This is our first initiative. And we intend to be active in China by March this year. Anything later than that, we will be behind schedule.
