Everybody should pull out of xenophobic China.

Microsoft, Yahoo, and everyone else should follow Google's lead and pull out of nationalist China.

Karl Marx noted that the capitalists are so blinded by greed that they will sell you the rope with which you can hang them. Ironically, that's exactly what China is doing to stupid Western companies. They are lured in, then stripped of their values, and then they are finally kicked out.

Why go there in the first place? Isn't it abundantly obvious what will they do to you?...Oh I forgot, greed and stupidity...

    "...evil, sly, shifty."
    
    Age old stereotypes from racist whites against Asians/Chinese.
    
    No wonder the Chinese government is xenophobic.

      This xenophobic Native American (Pikanii Blackfoot Indian) knows first hand that there is nothing benevolent about the Communist Chinese Leadership. The quicker the elitist liberal snobs of the planet wake up to this fact, the quicker the regular citizens of mainland China will have freedom and the rest of the world will be able to do business with honest, reliable,and honorable people.

        Thank you stephenvaile for seeing that the description was directed at the communist leadership. How else would anyone have described the actions perpetrated by the communists against its own people and against foreign enterprises? You have to call an ace for what it is. Maybe some liberals will describe the egregious offenses as "honest, reliable,and honorable".

        You could have used better and more precise description rather than racist-sounding gibes. All this hostile language is just a manifestation of inner prejudice.
        
        Yeah, call an ace for what it is. Don't hide behind accusations of espionage, xenophobia etc...

        NO Joke, Pull OUT and restart our own country / Heart again. China has turned our Greed against ourselves and has shown what we should have learned over Two Hundred Years ago! Are we fated to repeat mistakes again and again, until we get it wrong... AGAIN?

  Yes! Pull out GM First
  
  Please pull out GM first! Call your senators, write to Whitehouse, get the trade union, whatsoever!
  
  I am in beijing, and hate GM for no reason but my wife likes it for no reason. And we are fighting a major family decision as we are buying the first family car ever with savings of two years. I prefer a Nissan crossover.
  
  Back to google, my wife never uses it, and she only uses baidu to search for pirated Korean TV dramas, which I hate so much. I am using them about half half. The major problem would be my Gmail account.
  
  So sorry for google. But its way of handling this issue like a real "maverick" means no Chinese government, communist or not, would accept this.

    Your neighbor may not like you but that does not justify him stealing your TV. Disliking a product or service does not justify theft of actual or intellectual property.
    
    Businesses that consider pulling out of a rouge state such as china do so to protect their investments.

    There is no paranoia about China and communism. There is however understanding of first hand experience from people like myself and stevenvaile, who have seen what it's like to live under communism and their blatant disrespect for human rights. Don't let the twisted liberals mess you up.

      "no paranoia ..."? this is funny.
      if you really want to know what's going on in China, you need to be there. western press won't tell you the truth.
