Google can't change the laws in China. Personally, I'd rather have Google in China if I lived there. It's a great tool.

People should be made aware that there's a filter and all searches are made available to the government.

But Facebook can influence elections. Something isn't adding up to 100% here.

More so, I'm not worried about Google influencing China, I'm worried about China putting pressure on Google to spy on the world or lose potential profits.

Come to think of it, that's exactly what it could do by refusing to do business with them. If China is left out in the cold for long enough they may move a little.

That said, they need to be rewarded for moving or a boycott wouldn't help anything.

At this point you should realize that you're clearly wrong.

China is already the second largest economy and their goal is to be a world leader in AI by 2025. China isn't going to be left out of anything.

Well if Baidu sucks so much as people say, maybe they have limits. Or maybe Baidu will catch up.
