If Google's stand against China hardly caused change in its stock price; after the dust settles, does China really matter?

Google is a company, China is a Country. A better question is does Google really matter?

According to this forbes.com/2010/01/15/baidu-china-search... Forbes article, Google’s market share in China is only 31%. We can also see that Google China lags behind Baidu in innovativeness on China services. Search using Chinese is another ball game that Google doesn’t have advantages on.

This article technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/te... claims that the immediate loss from the pullout is only “a few hundred million dollars at most against total revenues which reached $5.94 billion”. It is not surprised that it “hardly caused change in its stock price” as 1. Google China doesn’t contribute much to Google, 2.

Google is not so much of a big player in China 3. Its services are inferior in China compared to Baidu. Comparing to exiting by saying “I failed in China” than exiting by this method, this method is better for its stock price.

Aside from whether China should have censorship, I think fairer statements will be: 1. China market matters 2. Google matters 3.

Google doesn’t matter a lot to China government 4. China market matters for Google but since Google is not very successful in China, China market doesn't matter for Google now.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
