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.

BTW, here’s a bonus question. Explain how the “champion of privacy that doesn’t operate in China” collects Android users’ locations even when location services are disabled. The practice was stopped only when they got caught, and this only happened last year.

I copy-pasted the wrong reply to the window, and corrected it while you were formulating your reply. There’s no way to edit a comment once it has been replied to, so there’s no way for me to put an edit reason. But thanks for the ad hominen attack.
