The Time Google Ditched China Just To Come Crawling Back

摘要
In 2010, Google shocked the world by ditching China. They had made their stance on Chinese censorship clear by redirecting all Chinese traffic to a Hong Kong version of Google that lacked any sort of censorship. They would follow this up by banning Google, Gmail, Chrome, and YouTube completely in China. While Google was praised by the Western media for fighting censorship, it didn’t seem like China really cared about Google leaving. They had already stolen much of their source code and were able to create similar services in house which would not only give them more control but also more profit. Despite this, Larry Page insisted on never returning to China unless they changed their policies on censorship. All of this changed when Sundar Pichai took over though. From the very beginning, Sundar had a soft spot for China as he would publicly defend the idea of returning to China. He would start off by just launching developer tools in China, but this would eventually lead to Google allegedly creating a full-on surveillance tool for China called Project Dragonfly. This video tells the dramatic story of Google exiting China only to come crawling back years later.
