Editorials in newspapers around the world are full of discussion of the recent decision by Google to resolve censorship in China, a communist movement that summarizes the level of camaraderie with the search engine.

While offering only a few points of a comprehensive study of a complex problem that goes beyond the financial sphere, the more Google-shift applaud such as healing, the promotion of democracy in the Asian country.

The query is now in the Western Hemisphere, whereChina can live without Google.

Many say no, he cites the cases of childhood in technology infrastructure of the country and its limited number of qualified technicians to postulate some even metaphorically, that Beijing will be "dark" after the withdrawal.

Frankly, Google, China needs much less the opposite. Therefore, the question around - can I live without Google China? - The appropriate response is yes.

Are strategicallyis the abundance of arguments shows that the Mountain View, California-based technology in Mammoth is the wrong way to deal with their Chinese puzzle. Some of these arguments are endogenous specific to the company, while others are more different in nature and closely related to the macro-environment in which the company is developing.

Google does not reveal the size or profitability of their business in China, but CA can derived from the country. 400 million Internet usersUsers who Google.cn - its local portal - with a heavy bottom-line total.

Flow measurement business corporation in the Republic of Mao Factoring means not only the core revenue search technology, but also the ancillary joint venture in Asia and commercial companies from Google.

The company can not ignore the potential cash cow, the Chinese Internet users and provide the competitive priorities, providing a local presence. The recent announcementGoogle Kong to move to their local server from the mainland to Hong Kong and in the end its censorship of search requests is a disservice to the company's core business strategy for China to win the market, Google is in Chinese, regardless of notorious practice of the nation economy.

Therefore, Ed Burnette is exactly confirmed this view.

It 's very important to recognize that China's economic practices are anything but fair and hissocio-political system can sometimes be seen in contradiction to paradigms in other parts of the world. The fact that China is not democracy rhetoric is commonplace, but many if not all of the Fortune 100 companies are interested in releasing her daughter assumptions about the language on the back burner, and open a Chinese.

geostrategic factors at the macro level are the ones that Google should be very carefully. The company is a leader in its field and has reliable friendsObama Administration - Andrew McLaughlin, the former head of global public policy, is currently the U.S. Deputy Chief Technology Officer at the Executive Office of the President. But the company itself can not represent a major strategic player in the largest and most complex continuum much U.S. - China.

The politicians are economical with the truth when it comes to China. While sometimes resorting to the rhetoric of dissent against Beijing on violationsDemocracy and free speech issues, because all the legendary Mama, when it is coupled with business ethics.

It should not be held strictly liable because there are a variety of elements that Sibillini transnational relations, and bilateral and multilateral issues are not always simple and crystal clear solutions.

If Google takes off the mainland, is close to billions in sales and its core business to lose. It loses its dominance in theRegional Affairs Research and tighten this gap other economic rivals, the lame, the end, the company's global market share.

This scenario fate is far from a Hollywood sci-fi fi episode. If Google is leaving the locals (as Baidu) and major competitors like Microsoft and Yahoo Bing surely grab the manna. Alternatively, you can easily imitate new entrants looking model of society and the benefit of local and guilt develop their business.

There is a long listWestern multinationals on the continent, despite repeated protests from human rights activists. Think McDonald's, Wal-Mart, Carrefour, Citibank, etc.

Collateral losses are already reflected in Google China's furious reaction to the search engine made its announcement, the media reported earlier that the mobile phone company, the system covered the Chinese or Google Android, the new mobile operating system.
