Google and China: Getting a Way to Talk to People at the Table
February 7, 2014
I read this allegedly accurate story, “Google to Own $750 Million Lenovo Stake after Motorola Deal Closes: HK Exchange.” I recall Google wanting the nation state of China to follow some of Google’s advice. I am not sure how well that worked out. If this Reuters story is accurate, Google now has a way to talk to people who may have a seat at the table when matters technical in China are discussed. Maybe Google wants to shift Chinese suppliers of its nifty, little servers? Worth watching. I wonder if those with seats at the table may find themselves waiting on line to get into the restaurant where juicy deals are served.
