Google Might Abandon Google.cn

(SinoCast China Business Daily News Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)BEIJING, June 12, SinoCast -- Google co-founder Sergey Brin recently revealed that the company was likely to abandon its China-based search engine Google.cn.

On January 25 of this year, Google established Google.cn that operates on servers based in China, but now the users of Google.cn are not even up to 1% of people who use Google.com.

So the Chinese version of Google turns out to be merely a chicken-rib product to some extent, an Internet analyst asking not to be named told Chinese media.

When being inquired by domestic media over the market performance of Google.cn, its related marketing personnel declined to make comments on.

Google, which is also named Gu-Ge in Chinese for promotion, is the largest search engine in the world, but it has been lagging behind its Chinese indigenous rival Baidu in China market, with the latter presently taking over a half of the Chinese market.
