原创：撤出中国市场就是“谷歌”的滑铁泸

The rising days for Google are over. Google's luck in searching market is out of steam. This is marked by its high-profile announcement of withdrawal from China in excuse of hacking or censorship. Worst of all, Google has devised a face-saving strategy for the withdrawal which is certainly very humiliating for the once invincible IT company. Unfortunately, this strategy deliberately causes bilateral tension between USA and China and has put Google itself into the role of a political pawn. From a business point of view, Google has made an irreversible mistake by mixing politics with commerce. It is very hard for Google to paint itself as a human rights promoter in China simply because of its failure in China's search market under the competition of indigenous IT companies. By playing politics because of business failure, Google risks losing China's market once for all and its demise. For sure, retreat from China is the Waterloo for Google.
