why google.com and google services being blocked in china doesnt matter at all. AT ALL.

once again, all of the expats and people in the US are in uproar over
this censorship, which actually probably only affects like 0.1% of
internet users in china. Very few internet users in China use anything
other than google.cn (and even that is a huge minority to people who
use Baidu), which is still up. and for everyone searching twitter for
those hashtags about people complaining about the censorship, everyone
should wake up to the fact that PRACTICALLY NO REAL CHINESE PERSON
ACTUALLY USES TWITTER. only the foreigners living in china do. china
has over 300mm internet users right now. if they censored Tencent’s
QQChat, that would be a big deal. Google.com and Twitter don’t matter
at all. there are much bigger issues facing china and their internet
usage/consumption than these stories that are picked up in the western
media and social media.

perspective and humor, two of the most important things to have in life

another person i had the pleasure of meeting on this trip was Mike Su, the director of product management at Break.com, aka @biggiesu. Mike joined our trip after skipping the Tokyo leg, and hopped on a plane from LA to Beijing to join us in China. I was literally sitting next to him at the Startup2Startup dinner, chatting about LA, when he was suddenly tapped on the shoulder, and taken from our table. And as they say, the rest is history (or rather, the rest was blogged). For those of you who haven’t had a chance to read the entries yet, Mike combines an uncanny sense of perspective and humor in recording his experiences being Quarantined in Beijing. The posts are listed below in chronological order. Enjoy.

1) Welcome to the Hotel Quarantine

2) Life in the Big House

3) The Seven People You’ll Meet in Hotel Quarantine

4) 3 down, 2 to go in Quarantine

5) Quarantine 2.0

Hope the rest of your stay goes smoothly and see you soon in LA.
