The China Google Dance is in full swing….

Someone attacked Google in China.

No proof, as yet, has been found who is to blame.

Allegations have been made… fingers pointed… feathers ruffled… threats… posturing… Basically it’s been a typical week doing business here in China.

Unless definitive proof is found that the Chinese government was behind the attacks, (my 2 cents) Google ain’t going anywhere.

In fact, I won’t be surprised if/when Google issues and apology to China

I, the company Google, apologize to you, the country China. – something like that.

The Western papers are having a field day serving up “Tough China brisket” and Western citizens are eating it up.

Western politicians will use the situation to further their own goals… business as usual really.

Doing business in China is tough.

Period.

Full Stop.

Everyone on the ground knows the playing field is uneven, the rules are interpreted differently and people get hurt when they play by a set of rules that they don’t quite understand.

Pssst… When you are not playing on your own field, take the time to learn how the other field plays the game.  If you don’t like the way they interpret the rules, you can always choose to stay home and NOT play.

China is like Vegas. It’s the house.

Everyone knows that ‘House Rules’ always favor the house and yet, people still keep coming, hoping to win.

It’s China baby…  it’s China.
