The great fall of china
Humpty dumpty sat on a Wall
…
Humpty dumpty had a great Fall!
China till now possessed the seat at the highest wall. Now, it has started trembling!!
Aakash vani: Google may pull out of China? This is such a big issue! Google has dropped quite a bombshell over China.
Astonished! Perplexed! Startled!
China has made a blunder. Some say that, “It’s not Google that is withdrawing from China, it’s China that’s withdrawing from the world.”
Google rules the cyber world! It is now widely recognized as the world’s largest search engine!
Reasons why Google took such a bashing step:
Google had got tired of fighting with China over censorship. The hacking attacks threw a scare into them and they could not grow in such market conditions as well. The decision announced by google.com to not censor search results in China represents an act of keen defiance. This rift between Google and China definitely hints at challenges ahead which will surely not play in favor of China!
The entrepreneurs have turned skeptical on investments in China. The start-ups in China will get affected. The Chinese government will never back down on the censorship issue. If they do, their power will weaken and they will descend.
So, will this draw curtains over the Chinese parade?
Wake up!! China’s willingness to blow off Google plays to India’s relative advantage. Will India grasp the opportunity now to lead the race? Will India be a big winner simply being the audience to this fight?
Commences, Brain storming!!

I believe China is right and they have a valid point… It’s just they are not working towards this goal in a proper manner.
I’m not saying that google is totally wrong… they are also correct but yes they are harsh.
And a line about India… well “Hum Indians ko to free me kuch bhi mil jaye to we are happy”…

dude you are taking this other way round.. this is not at all about the google china controversy..
what we are saying is that.. since google has withdrawn from china.. there will be less firms and people who will trust china…
google is a big shot and withdrawal of its services from china is not at all a small thing…

ok sir… I think CHINA is a prominent country on the face of earth… withdrawl of google will be a major setback but not that big as everyone’s predicting… People and traders who trust in CHINA will always come back… THE GREAT WALL will definately support the GREAT FALL of CHINA”

china’s market economy would suffer bocz of this …but nt much as Chinese search engine Baidu still hold 60 % share in Chinese economy but surely its a cutoff from rest of world …but as other brand search engines YAHOO N BING will increase there share in china market economy.
but there will be decline in the %age market economy for china.so overall change is nt good but nt this much that there’s aint a substitute for this .

what if yar google has withdrawn from china. it does not matter them at all. they have KAI-FU LEE,one of the most prominent figures in the Chinese internet sector. He is helping young Chinese people a lot, to achieve careers in IT. He has headed Microsoft, Google, Apple, Silicon….. He has announced details of a $115m venture capital fund called “Innovation Works” that aims to create five successful Chinese start-ups a year in internet and mobile internet businesses or in vast hosting services known as cloud computing.
he is awesom yar.
we need such personalities, to provide a boon to India’s IT sector.

vaise this is good for other search engines, they got a chance to raise their status. china is a huge market and google just left it. it will not affect much to the country in any case, coz other then the software part china is major hub for electronic items. No other country can produce electronic parts as cheap as china.
