A

In 2006, Google launched their search engine in China. However, they had to self-censor as it was one of the regulations in China

They were able to control 25% of the search engine by making its software understand languages such as characteristics like Korea and Japan.

This was an attempt to avoid sensorship however, they were still faced with many obstacles after this.

Since they ran Google outside of China, the servers were extremely slow compared to their Chine Seach Engine competitors Yahoo! China

This lead to many unsatisfied customers and complaints

China was then blocked from this search engine and was diverted to other Chinese search engines which the public hated.

They created Goolge.cn which then was fully censored. Ethics plays a huge role in this

Human Rights?
Freedom of speech?
