DuckDuckGo is also banned.

Why is DDG also banned.

15 years? Business or pleasure?

Sounds like the latter...

“Well, yes, for my part. I certainly wouldn’t forsake my country to live in some totalitarian hell-hole in order to accrue a few petty material advantages. But that’s just me.”

If you read what I think is his blog, which is about as many words as War and Peace, you will get the picture of China as being a place where you’re left alone to live out your life, PROVIDED you don’t run around trying to ‘transform’ society, outside of the approved channels. If you do, you may find yourself in jail spending 3 years giving away organs, before you’re done away with for good. Pretty harsh if you’re Chinese and feel things can be improved if so-and-so is done.

Americans living in other countries, unlike Muslims, Mexicans, or Central Americans, DO NOT go to other countries to ‘transform’ them, so our organs are generally safe. We take what we get there, live honestly (most of us), and in return we are LEFT ALONE. That’s not true here now and it will get MUCH WORSE if Hillary’s gang ever gets complete control, as they now see that their job is to PUNISH DEPLORABLES, as we just saw with the Covington High School crap. If our country becomes that, most people on our side will have to choose between violently fighting back, or simply leaving the country - and many will leave, and will feel really sad as they watch the United States quickly transform into another Venezuela (or Cuba). But in other countries, we will still be allowed to raise kids WITHOUT having half of those societies demand that our kids experiment in gay sex, and WITHOUT having to worry about who’s allowed to follow our daughters into bathrooms and locker rooms, and WITHOUT having to worry about a judge giving the guy who raped my wife a suspended sentence because he equates jail with ‘slavery’ (didn’t happen to me, but is happening in this country, daily).

We dodged a bullet in 2016, which is why we’re not in a state of open civil war now. But I don’t know how much longer that will be the case and when that day comes, living quietly in China or other countries won’t be all that terrible.

Actually, Microsoft has a lot of bad aspects too but in the hierarchy of my hate, Microsoft/Bing fall well below Google in my book.

My way of thinking too. The Microsoft data collection machine is amateur hour compared to google. Bing just got kicked out of China while Google is working with Chinese censors to make a China version of google search modified in ways the ChiCom honchos demand. Bing is good 95% of the time. Sometimes a google search is needed to find obscure items.

China is so divisive.

Bing is not blocked in China. They are having server issues of sometype.

You can access Bing via
