Microsoft's Web log service bars use of terms such as "democracy" and "human rights." On the China-based portal of search engine Google, a search for material the Dalai Lama, Taiwan and other sensitive topics returns a message saying "site cannot be found." |
Re: Microsoft Shuts Down Chinese Blog
part of there user agreement was that users must comply with local laws. its not microsofts fault. and they cant afford to be on chinas badside. theyre money hungry like that. but its cool. lets just keep outsourcing to china. and theyll be the next superpower. while theyre people have basically no rights at all..
atleast theyre cracking down on sex based abortions.. and there population.. oh, wait, those things shouldnt be problems in the first place. china is fucked up. and were fucked up that were still outsourcing to them. |
Re: Microsoft Shuts Down Chinese Blog

Re: Microsoft Shuts Down Chinese Blog
i think whats going to tip the scales. and set chinas super power status into motion is when they start selling cars here in the united states.
http://www.usatoday.com/money/autos/...hinacars_x.htm i think theyll learn from kia tho. and wait till they have a worthwhile product before they sell it. even tho kias new cars are really well built. theyre reputation got damaged from building shitty cars before.. but now theyre building it back up. and we shall see. www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geely_Automobile how china's industry works. step 1, find a product everyone wants step 2, find a way to make it better appealing i.e. cheaper price (most of the time), better looks (sometimes) , better quality (rarely) step 3, mass produce step 4, sell step 5, repeat *edit* wow... geelys website no longer has an english section [IMG width=300]http://img323.imageshack.us/img323/876/800pxgeelybeautyleopardatiaa20.jpg[/img] wow.. looks like there gonna be at the detroit autoshow too http://www.autonet.ca/News/story.cfm...359880-ap.html |

Re: Microsoft Shuts Down Chinese Blog
same ---- for cars too. all the new ones are designed for faliure...
so u have to change your car every 5 years... i will never buy a new car. |
Re: Microsoft Shuts Down Chinese Blog
Yep, and notice how they keep geting closer and closer with the dates where they redesign the whole line of cars. so even if your car doesnt break you're now driving an older looking out of date car. and it makes vein people go buy new cars again.

Re: Microsoft Shuts Down Chinese Blog
check it,
i like how he has a pessimistic gdp growth rate too... and his real growthrate is actually higher now :X Table of Projected Growth Rates Following are the projections for estimated growth over the next 20 years in the US and Chinese economies: The starting figures for GDP and actual growth rates are taken from the CIA World Factbook. Values and projections are in millions of US dollars. The long-term growth rate for each economy is taken from the UN Human Development Report. The US long-term growth rate is actually reported at 2.0% by the UN report, but other estimates suggest that US GDP inadequately measures the impact of technological innovations which disrupt normal estimates of economic growth (downward price pressures on advanced computer technology, for example, may cause the share of GDP contributed by the computing sector to shrink or stay level even though it represents large returns to investment and vastly improved productivity). For this reason (and in order to illustrate that even a full percentage point improvement in growth cannot fully insulate the US from China's rapid growth), the estimate for long-term US growth is over-estimated to 3.0%. The pessimistic estimate for growth is simply a rough figure that may reasonably be assumed to be the low end of what either economy might reasonably expect over the intermediate term, in both cases about 1/3 lower than actual growth in 2003. In the real world, these growth rates may vary widely from year to year, but this forecast does not presume to represent a sophisticated model with multiple probabilities but rather a functional estimate projecting what is likely to occur if present patterns hold true. |
Re: Microsoft Shuts Down Chinese Blog
Well China is in its industrial revolution so in the next decade things will become interesting. Our 50K a year middle class will prolly cease to exist.
China is hard to compete with on certain levels, Samsonite (sp?)luggage doesn't make their own product anymore. It was cheaper for them to buy there own rips offs and put there labels on them. But on the other hand they don't know what to do if they can't copy it. A co-worker of my dads patented/manufactured a product and he knew he was gonna get ripped off by the chineese so for kicks he added things to the design that were utterly usless. Once he got a hold of the knock off there they were, two hole and two pins that served no purpose what so ever, just as he had expected. |
Re: Microsoft Shuts Down Chinese Blog
China is going to have a civil war sometime in the next 100years. The youth of the country have had enough.

Re: Microsoft Shuts Down Chinese Blog
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060111/...ge/china_trade
China's trade surplus surged to $101.9 billion in 2005, more than triple the $32 billion gap recorded the year before With total global trade of $1.42 trillion, China is now the world's third-biggest trading nation The figures were largely in line with expectations, but they were likely to intensify pressure for Beijing to loosen foreign exchange controls that U.S. officials and other critics contend keep the Chinese currency, the yuan, undervalued, making Chinese exports relatively cheap in overseas markets. |

Re: Microsoft Shuts Down Chinese Blog
And this is why I hate when big corporate companies outsource jobs. My mom lost her job because of that, and so did a few close family friends. It sucks ass when a company goes from nothing to someting in a few years, then goes public, then in another few years decides they want some chinese ----------ers to produce the product >:(
The Chinese quality of living is going up as their population growth decreases. They're eventually going to bypass the US in production unless we do something about outsourcing. |
Re: Microsoft Shuts Down Chinese Blog
someone said china doesn't have the potential to be a superpower thats not true. There econmoy has been growing and growing since 2000. They are one of the reason why are gas prices is high because of the supply and demand. They were consider the fastest growing economy in 2004. There economy has been growing at least 10% a year more than most countries. Thats all my social studies class has been talking about china's economic growth.
