That's a twisted argument

They don't not "due to Chinese censorship laws", they don't because they don't want to obey local laws, big difference, Google is welcome, just like TikTok is able to operate in the west because they agreed to obeying the local laws (storing user data on US/EU soil for example)

Speaking of censorship, welcome to Google USA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_by_Google

Oh Google is CCP propaganda asset.. sorry.. i meant CIA..

There's no difference, since the laws they don't want to obey are the censorship laws.


It was their reason given for exiting the Chinese market. However they are under the same laws as Chinese firms.

AFAIK the Chinese have no equivalent of special laws for companies linked to "foreign adversary countries".
