NYTimes: “Google in China: The Big Disconnect”
Quick pointer: Great, long, interesting article on the the state of the internet in China. Censorship, culture, business, morals.
Discusses the experiences of Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo!; Cisco on the hardware/router side; local players like Baidu, Sina and Sohu; several journalists and bloggers active within China; and what it all might mean.
There are multiple eye-opening descriptions of cultural forces at play in China, and how those influence Internet usage in general.
All and all, a helpful and enjoyable primer.
Um, I could do with a link with the pointer… or have I missed it somehow? (No need to leave this comment if you add the link!)
