Dear Google readers. Yes, I know that you, Google staff, is reading this message. But I do not care whether or not you, Google staff, are to censor this message as you are doing in your associated or subsiadiary Youtube wih similar messages and videos. I am just one among many Chinese who are posting messages like this. I am afraid that you cannot stop us.
I want to tell you a few things about China before you decide wether or not you leave our country. #1. We do not like thieves. After you Google stole the work that humble Chinese writers posted in your site you have just one way to save your face, at least partly: pay them the adequate compensation. No option. Your business in China will be impossible if you do not pay. #2: Corporations do not rule China. And less from Wall Street or from California. You, Google, and all corporations are welcome to China only if you come to China to serve Chinese residents. Not the opposite. In exchange you deserve some profits as any other corporation. Not any priviledge above any other corporation. Your opinion about our laws do not count. You and any other either do as told by laws or leave. No exception. The US government only wants to keep children away from porn, while the Chinese government wants nobody to have access to porn. You know that before you arrived China some years ago. This is just a reminder because it seems that suddenly your ethics on "human rights" makes impossible your work in China (is not ironic that you claim ethics after you stole Chinese writers work?). #3: We do not like threats. Many important corporations from your field such as Ebay or Yahoo left China or were bought by local corporations. If you finally decide to leave, you will be one into a long list of failed corporations that were not skilled enough to gain market share and profits enough. You will be nothing more and nothing else. Your 12.7% (*) of market share will be added to the 77.2% (*) of market share that Baidu got or to any other among many search engines, mail servers, etc. Life in China will go on with or without you. #4: Hackers are a headache in China, in USA, in Spain (where I live now) and in any other country. If you are not skilled enough to keep secure the information that your users trust that you will keep safe then raise skills in your staff, raise budget for wages, raise whatever you need to reach the level of professional skills that other corporations got. If you are inapt then you better leave that business in China and everywhere. You can learn from many other corporations that rejected to embrace your campaign such as Microsoft, HP, Intel etc. #5: Maybe you are accustomed that cyber crimes are solved in press campaigns. In our country, there is something called justice system, if it is an alien concept for you then soon you will learn how it works if you do not pay conpensation to Chinese writers. But the right way to deal with our justice systems is to provide evidences, clues, data, etc. to courts. Not to launch press campaigns in US media. If you can not provide any evidences you better shut up because then we can learn what this campaign is aimed for. Finally. I do not care whether you stay in China or you leave after paying compensations to the Chinese writers. I do not care whether such compensation exceeds your profit expectation or you can afford it easily or you require a bailout from US administration, none of my business. I do not care at all about your corporation and its future. For me and for most Chinese you simply are one among many, so you better forget threats, you better put you nose into your own business and not into our laws, you better understand that you are at our service and not the opposite. And, of course, do not think for one second that this campaign has softened Chinese stance on this case, if that was your aim I have to tell you that it backslashed as usual. I hope my English is good enough for to you to understand. Regards. Xi (*) China Internet Network Information Center. September 2009.
