China Search Daily

Mr. Xie said good bye to the CEO position of Yahoo China recently. He was only there for about 40 days. Allen Wang, the one who picked the chinese name for Google, said good bye to his Google China position.

And Johnny Chou almost did the same things.

I felt like this was the farewell season for internet industry in China. Are they graduating from the position? I dont think so.

This is just a game. Players moved from one to the other, or from managers to entrepreneurs. Yes they all said so, they wanted to launch their own business.

Good idea, maybe good excuse.

Baidu is going to launch its Traditional Chinese version search engine. Yes, that is for the oversea chinese, as well as the chinese at Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau.

Yes, everyone want to serve more Chinese should learn more about chinese.

Tom Online is going to merge all the business of Ebay China, including Paypal China.

Does this mean that Ebay failed in the competition with Alibaba’s Taobao and Alipay? Maybe!

But the central government is going to carefully control the online payment in China. The licience is needed in the coming month for Paypal China.

Maybe Tom Online can get one of the licience, but for sure Ebay China is hard to get it.

Yes the competition with Alibaba and the Online Payment Licience may be the two main reason for this rumor. And most of the time, rumor come true.

Yes, That was the Keynote speaker for Google China at SES Nanjing and for China Internet Conference.
Johnny Chou was confirmed that he will leave Google China next month.

His Google China Tour was just almost 1 year. Some said that this was the signal for the failure of google’s localization in China. But anyway, Johnny is a good guy, he had tried to do something for the real localization and expanding the business scale. But the expanding strategy for Google China was already there before his joined Google. How could he bring a change to that. Some might double that.

Some said Johnny will be a VC after his Google China Trip. Why not? He really got something from this trip.

Search Engine Strategies Conference & Expo is planning a new adventure in China.

More news about this conference is coming soon.
