Chinese netizens divided over Google move

The persons who frequently use the Internet, the so called netizens, have divided opinions about the move of Google. Google is an American internet searching machine. They decided to stop censoring the search results, and automatically direct to the Hong Kong’s unrestricted site.

The majority of the Chinese population says that Google should stop their business in China. They came to China a few years ago and they already try to dictate rules. They also say that Google has to leave the business in Hong Kong, cause it’s also a part of China. China has other alternatives for Google such as “baidu.com” a Chinese searching machine.

The other part of China doesn’t want Google to leave. They say that it’s a tragedy for the Chinese internet users. They support the vision of Google and show anger for the Chinese government.

I do agree with the majority of the Chinese people, Google shouldn’t be allowed to do what they want, they have to obey the law of a country. They came to China to make so much money, it’s not such a big effort to follow their rules. But China will be able to survive in the cyber world without Google, they also have a lot of alternatives to use. But accusations such as “they came here to cause destruction and destroy Chinese unity” are over the top.

  1. I agree with the part of China that doesn't want Google to leave, every user of internet should be able to visit the sites he want, it should not be censored.
