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

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.
