Is Google banned in China?
“We want to be in China serving Chinese users” - Sundar Pichai, current Google CEO.[1]Let’s clear up a misconception: Google is blocked, but not banned in China. The Google office is located within the Fifth ring road in Beijing and they had recently moved into a new office premise within the Fourth-Ring road. Google has never left China[2] , they just shifted their main operations (search and advertising) to another Chinese city: Hong Kong.Let’s examine the factors that prompted the Google founders to make this decision to relocate on March 23, 2009.Google refused to continue censoring (“filtering”) content on behalf of the Chinese government, in the aftermath of a spate of hacking attacks on Google’s servers, while continuing to do so for the US government.[3] [4] (Talk about double standards)Sergey Brin was instrumental in convincing both co-founder Larry Page and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt to defy Chinese authorities by not complying with local censorship laws. Eric was not in favor of running afoul with the Chinese government while Larry was sort of neutral.Google co-founder Sergey Brin was a hard nut with a Soviet-era mentality. He believes the Chinese government will dissolve and the Chinese economy collapse just like his former resident country the Soviet Union, after which Google can monopolize the Chinese search engine market with at least 90% penetration just like most other countries on Earth. (As of 2009, Google only managed to capture 30% of the mainland Chinese search engine market, Baidu has 68%)[5]Truth is, Google learned the hard way by pandering to a Cold-War mindset (Don’t be evil… unless I am the devil?) and now they are planning a comeback to the mainland Chinese market after several years of self-imposed absence and probably had to work extra hard to be permitted re-entry to the cities in the mainland.Footnotes[1] http://e in China serving Chines...[2] Google is hiring AI talent from China even though it’s still blocked in the country[3] Petition to Ban Google's Blatant Suppression of Free Speech[4] Google now cites obscure ad code in old blog posts in a blogs subdomain as their reason for blacklisting the entire NaturalNews.com website… INSANE[5] Google Gained Market Share in China in Last Six Months | StatCounter Global Stats
Does WhatsApp Messenger work in China?
No, whatsapp doesnt work in China.Not only whatsapp, but none of the messenger apps excluding Wechat works in China.China has no access to Facebook, Whatsapp, Line, Telegram, Kik, …etc..Even youtube is banned in China.But banning whatsapp doesnt have any serious effect in china. Because Wechat(developed by Tencent) is much popular app in China. It has over 900 million active users in China.BTW, Wechat is much more feature oriented than Whatsapp. It allows the people in China to do anything, anywhere using Wechat.For online shopping, paying bills, chatting, video conferencing, ticket booking, online gaming, etc….etc….etc.., people use Wechat in China.It is being said that when you visit China, you will see each and every person using Wechat no matter what purpose its for. Wechat is the Facebook in China.Whatsapp is nothing infront of Wechat and thats why banning whatsapp in China doesnt make any effect on its people.Conclusion : WECHAT RULES CHINA
Does Google Translate work in China?
It works, sometimes. I can use Google Translate on my smartphone and my PC, but someone cannot. It depends on some mysterical restrictions that I have no idea of it. If you want to make sure Google Translate is available all the time, use a VPN.Btw, Google Translate sucks at translating Chinese. Use a Baidu or Youdao Translate when it comes to Chinese.
Will my Chinese Sony TV work in the UK?
Hello Ade, it will surely work. Only what you need check up may be the voltage rating of China and UK to be sure they are same 220-240 Volts. I guess your TV is a Sony product but the 40-inch Samsung (LE40A750U) I bought in the UK in December actually works here at home without any needing any step up/down transformer (voltage converter). But the Sony Blu-ray disc player I bought last 2 weeks in Canada needs a step-down transformer (voltage converter) because the US/Canada voltage rating is 110-125V range, which i just got today. So, check the voltage rating of your chinese TV to be sure it's the same as the UK voltage rating. If it is written as 110-240 Volts, it's okay too and that will work anywhere without any adaptor like a laptop I got from same Canada. Take care and God bless! Gbenga.

Why isn't Chinese Cantonese in Google Translate?
The most reliable online Cantonese dictionary at the moment is here: http://www.cantonese.sheik.co.uk/diction... The main page there has lots of resources for you to learn or pick up on the Cantonese language, and if you want, you may even visit their forum of learners and experts alike. Many helpful people there. As for why google translate doesn't have Cantonese, it's because many people believe that Cantonese does not have a written form and that all Cantonese speakers write in Mandarin. There are also many who thought Mandarin is the only language spoken by the Chinese, so "Chinese" is all they need to know. These are of course, entirely false. However part of the reason may also be due to the fact that Cantonese is not a recognized official language of China, but merely a dialect that isn't important. Hong Kong is the only place on Earth that speaks Cantonese as an official language, and while it is historically an important part of the Chinese culture, you don't get much out of learning to speaking Cantonese. The only people who can understand you are people from Hong Kong. There are even plenty other Chinese who would talk down Cantonese in favour of promoting Mandarin, so why would anyone offer Cantonese support, when even the Chinese don't support their own Cantonese brothers? There may be other reasons why Cantonese is unpopular over the internet, but this is the general gist of it.
How can I use Google in China?
Yes, you can use Google in China.And you’ll always be able to use it. Even though it’s technically blocked on the Great Firewall of China. Google, as well as sites like Facebook, Twitter, Youtube etc are also blocked.But blocked doesn’t mean ‘blocked’. I am in China now and I was on Google this morning, as well as Youtube (watching PewDiePie’s video from yesterday) and I was also on Twitter this week.Just about everyone in China has access to VPN software. These programs are all over wechat, QQ and other apps/programs and widely shared/spread across China.VPN = Virtual Private Network.What a VPN does is alter your devices IP address/location and makes your internet company/network you are on think you’re in a different area then you are.So when I use a VPN in China, I would choose either Russia or UK locations just to bypass the Firewall of China. As it doesn’t think I am in China.It’s not illegal to use a VPN in China, China has never officially passed a law.However, China does shutdown VPN’s every week, and each time they do, two more start up. It’s a constant battle.I personally have a dozen VPN’s. I have some on my devices, like my laptop and phone. I have some on one of my USB sticks, and I have some in my email attachments.No matter what situation I get into in China, I’ll have access to any number of VPN’s (all free) that will unblock any site.First thing you need to do is download a VPN. If you are outside China, it’s much easier. There are some that cost money, and some are free.Some of the ones I have been using I’ve had for over 7 years now. And they are free.There are sites you can get VPN’s from. Some sites list anywhere from 300–1500 different VPN’s you can use.If you are in China, you may need to check on wechat and other Chinese focused apps in chat rooms.Next, download/install the VPN on your device.Run it.You should now have access to all sites that were blocked in China.Damien DefrancoOriginal Question: How can I use Google in China?
Why is Google illegal in China?
Google made its high-profile exit from China, and raised a proverbal middle finger at China while doing it. So it had chosen to forsake the China market, and China slammed its doors on Google.Then…a few years later, China’s e-market bloomed. Google found it had forsaken a market that it’d have had dominated if not for that stunt in 2010.Fact is, Google has been asking to be let in again ever since, but due to arrogance they refuse to play by China’s house rules (which Apple did, and China’s market have been its major cash cow to this day), so the squabble continued, and Google still get blocked.Now, there’s no such thing as “Google is illegal”, nobody has ever been arrested for using Google service in China, and Google actually still maintain a small operation in China, alas not as major market player as it’d be like in other parts of the world. They just block it outright by firewall at service provider level, nothing more. If you’d die without Google, there’s always the VPN service that circumvent the firewall.
