but they are champion of privacy or something like that. And google who walked out of China because they refused to bend to their rules are the bad guys.

You do know that Hong Kong is technically part of China, right?
You do know Hong Kong is very different from China right? It's a separate jurisdiction, economy, language, culture etc...
Yes, which is why Google is still operating in Hong Kong, which is part of China, which is my point. Your's?
Just having a point is not good enough. It needs to make some sense.

China Hing Kong and China Mainland was always a separate entity. China Hong Kong Google site still remains blocked in China mainland (last I checked), because Google refuses to comply with China laws regarding privacy.

Google has other business interest that doesn't require direct access to customer data and products that can be only developed for Chinese consumers.

Google remains the only major company in the world that I know of that refused to do business with China over privacy concern.

So your argument is that Google values privacy, so it doesn’t operate in China. But if it were to operate in China, it has to obey Chinese laws. Agree or disagree?

As for the first part, explain to me how Google values privacy when it circumvented Safari’s built in privacy protection and was fined for it. So how does your argument make sense?

No that doesn't make sense at all. You don't seem to understand the difference.

Google Play store does not work on China, Apple app store works.

Edit: You completely changed your original comment I replied to. That put my comment out of context. That's a very douchy move, esp you didn't mention that you changed your comment.
