People’s Daily has given their take on Google’s entry into China:
Signs have shown that the once arrogant Google has paid more and more attentions to Chinese market. Sources from the company say Google has gained approval from Chinese government to put up branches in China. The office location in Shanghai has been fixed.
Google was once the No.1 Chinese search engine in China thanks to its early entry into Chinese market. But because it hasn’t given sufficient attention to the Chinese market, it has been surpassed by Chinese enterprises like Baidu.
