Got your attention, didn't I?
We all know that the Chinese government is absolutely against free speech. They are even now trying to put a stop to bloggers in China. The amazing thing is that Bill Gates and his Microsoft empire have started cooperating with the Chinese government to silence bloggers.
Adrian Warnock and other bloggers have picked up on this, even while mainstream news is silent about it.
It seems to me that money clearly speaks louder than conscience at Microsoft. I am convinced that if Microsoft decided not to cooperate with the Chinese government, they would lose a major chunk of their annual revenue from the Chinese market. I suppose in business you don't throw away a market of over 1 billion people aside for something as archaic as principles, do you?!
Just imagine how many XBox 360s could be sold into that market? What about their operating system called Windows XP?
I was always taught as a kid that the more we have the more we want. Is this Bill Gates' story? We will have to wait and see about this issue with the Chinese government.
All that you and I can do is to bring this flow of events to the attention of the rest of the world!
Are they going to listen?
Just thinking...
