As mentioned above, another factor must be understood in telescoped internet network problems, namely the sovereignty and globalization. These factors are clearly understood and firmly by the various U.S. companies. China could shift the center of information and communication technology is also well positioned as the main pillar of the world of innovation.

Changes in landscape and the global conflict is obviously going to put Google Inc. reassess its position in dealing with Beijing. Because, in the evolution of globalization presents new phenomenon, but comes to competition between countries, as well as factors inherent sovereignty, universal values, there are also factors of competition between companies of a country. For example, Google Inc. must compete with Yahoo! and Microsoft to capture the China market.

China’s internet network to realize an important part and are integral to maintaining economic growth. Google Inc. was aware of China has the potential lucrative market for advertising that motto, “Not Doing Evil”, should be able to justify feud with Beijing and the business benefits it contains.
