評論:自從李開復離開google之後,google中國的發展戰略一直未明確,遙想昨日聽說google在韓國第一次用了美女圖片,可見google的亞洲本地化之路一直面臨多國的夾擊,那麼今日這條消息的出現,是否意味著,google中國將開始在中國收縮業務?或者更嚴重來說,”本地化的google服務”將退出中國市場?

Google China CEO Confirms Change of Course
Google (Nasdaq:GOOG) China will introduce a new business strategy, under which it will use its international technology to serve Google users in China — “not Google China, but Google in China,” Google China CEO John Liu said in an interview with CBN Weekly published December 10. Under its new strategy, Google China intends to reduce investment into wholly localized products but continue to offer its global products in China, the report said.
According to an unnamed Google China engineer, employees including tech chiefs and project managers from webpage, maps, mobile search and other teams have left in the past few months, according to the report.
Google China announced in early December that it planned to suspend its free weather forecast short messaging service in 2010.
