Jeremy Gordon, CEO of China Business Services, which help companies enter the Chinese market, blogged today on the China Business Blog about the interview he had with BBC’s 5 Live radio about the controversial Google’s censorship policy in China.
This came after the majority of Google shareholders voted against the anti-censorship proposal that requires the Google's management to stop censoring its search results in repressive countries.
