The Internet has been a little calm these past two days, or it may just be the calm before the storm. The Internet is an unstable environment. No one knows what may happen tomorrow. Many things happen without warning. There was a lot of discussion about Google a few days ago, but it has calmed down in the past two days. Google may stay.
Whether it’s search expertise or its “don’t be evil” business philosophy, Google wins people’s hearts more. The perfect product experience and perfect corporate culture have rooted Google in the hearts of a considerable number of Chinese netizens. This week, Google has taken a turn for the worse. On Monday, "Google made a U-turn and Schmidt denied that it would withdraw from the Chinese market." From a tough attitude of withdrawing from China and closing google.cn to denying that it would withdraw from the Chinese market, regardless of whether there are economic factors or other reasons, anyway Google has changed its tune. Schmidt's "I love the Chinese people" was ridiculed by netizens as "I love the Chinese yuan." Although Google's market share in China accounts for less than 30% of the total number of searches, due to its large market base, this less than 30% share is also Very impressive. According to online reports, if Google withdraws from China, it will lose US$6 billion every day. This is big data.
In the past two days, online comments about Google have become more rational. Is Google hype? There are more and more opinions like this. However, calling out the Chinese government is obviously not a wise move. Under the Chinese social system, the government has absolute authority and cannot be challenged. Some comments on the Internet said that Google "should not be forced to stay if it withdraws, but should be encouraged if it stays." Now that Google wants to continue to stay in China, it can only compromise on the "censorship of search results" system with Chinese characteristics. If you rely on others, you can only look at others. This is the Internet in China's social environment, and Google can only follow the local customs. It may be contrary to Google's culture and business philosophy, but for the sake of profit, I have to change myself. This is the social environment of survival of the fittest.
Chinese culture has always advocated the golden mean, advocating the ability to bend and stretch. The article by the picture king of A5 Webmaster Network admin5.com "Webmasters can gain more living space only if they understand the form better", which teaches webmasters to recognize the current network reality, see the hard power clearly, and compromise and change strategies. . Some people applauded, while others criticized him. Some people think that King Tu was "incited to rebel" and became the government's mouthpiece to oppose the grassroots. The number of votes supporting King Tu dropped sharply. But if you think about it rationally, what will be the result if you continue to be radical? Grassroots groups are still a vulnerable group. , in the face of the government's tough Internet reform measures, how to resist? If you continue to fight back, you will only be bruised and bruised, because the grassroots webmasters are not strong enough and are destined to be sacrificed. The transformation of China's Internet is a social trend with strong Chinese characteristics. Being born in Chinese society can only adapt to China's national conditions, which is unchangeable.
International companies as powerful as Google have lowered their arrogant heads in China. How can grassroots groups with little capital realize their idealism and say no to the impact of reality? Although King Tu's so-called "recognize the situation" is too moderate, but Only a moderate attitude can preserve strength and continue to survive in the cruel changes. China's Internet is undergoing bloody changes, and sacrifices are inevitable. Who told us to be born in this generation? Only by adapting to the changes can we persevere to the end.
Of course, if you are like Tao Yuanming and don't give up for five buckets of rice, refuse to change, and leave quietly, you will also be respected and blessed by everyone. In an environment of survival of the fittest, failure to surrender or adapt can only lead to failure. This is the reality. The ideal socialism is very beautiful, but it still requires many years of accumulation. We are destined to pay the price in this process of improvement and change. This is our destiny.
