A few minutes after the announcement, at the dawn of Tuesday morning, the closure of its engine Google.cn, many Internet users the largest site Chinese trade online, Alibaba group, put on sale a printed t-shirt "GoogleBye", at a price of 38 Yuan (4 euros), illustrated with a slogan welcoming the victory of the people's Republic on the foreign company which dared to challenge the Communist regime. Despite these triumphant comments of some nationalists, strategic and partial withdrawal triggered by Google in the Chinese market appeared rather, yesterday, to many observers as a clever manoeuvre to save several of its activities in the country.
Since yesterday morning, Chinese Internet users attempting to connect to the search engine Google.cn are redirected automatically on the Kong Group platform, which, because it is hosted by a territory with administrative status to part, is not subject to the laws of the continent. With this transfer, Google confirmed that it no longer wishes to obey the rules of self-censorship imposed by Beijing, while continuing to offer its services to Chinese Internet users. To avoid losing too much hearing, the Californian Group reviewed the design of its Hong Kong site, which was previously accessible in English and traditional Chinese. Since yesterday, the site, which greatly resembles the deceased Google.cn, accepts research "simplified" said Mandarin, the standard spelling in the PRC. This reorganization does not mean that China-based users will gain access to a more "free" Internet Regarded as foreign, the Google Hong Kong is subject to censorship applied filters by power all sites offering content in the country. Yesterday evening, research from Beijing on issues considered sensitive by the Communist regime (Falun Gong, Liu Xiaobo, repression of demonstrations in Tiananmen Square...) or attempts to access the banned foreign sites (YouTube, Twitter or Facebook) drove the usual message: "Internet Explorer can not display this page."
"Simple business case."
Visibly taken aback by the flexibility of the US group, the Chinese Government initially strongly responded through its State media. All released severe anonymous condemnation of a framework of the Office of information the Government denouncing "the raped promises" of Google and its attempts at politicization of the operation. "Google is wrong", he hammered. But, a few hours later, spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs claimed that this case was a simple "business case", not of a nature to undermine Sino-US relations. Several analysts believed, yesterday evening, that Google could have succeeded, through his Kong manoeuvre, to sketch out an acceptable compromise early. Because Beijing has never worked for the total demise of the American Group in the country. The Californian also seems to hope that its activities consistent with Chinese law may be prosecuted. R & D partnerships with Chinese start-ups could be maintained as a part of the business activities of the company, which employs 600 people in China. The download service of online music Top100.cn, with Chinese partners by the large majors of the disc, put in place last year was also still available. In a will, perhaps, to appease controversy, Alibaba group asked, yesterday evening, "googlebye" t-shirts vendors do not offer these products online.
