Ctrip, a Chinese corporation
- grzm 10y agoBusiness is increasingly global. Deals of this nature are not so surprising. Would you expand on your comment?
- toomuchstuff 10y agoSo if Twitter were bought by a Chinese company it would be the same as being bought by a British company?
- grzm 10y agoI have a hard time understanding what's implied by questions like this, particularly in online forums. I'd rather not assume, as that could easily lead to misunderstanding. In the interest of discussion, would you say what you mean rather than make me guess?
- tehwebguy 10y agoMy guess is they are implying that people here would not be stoked if a company based in a country whose government demands widespread censorship of some topics and criticisms of the same government, purchased a company that is/was to some extent a force for free speech.
- toomuchstuff 10y agoHard to believe you're so unaware about the world that you'd write that unironically.
- grzm 10y agoIt's more being very aware of the world and the varied perspectives of the people in it. Why is it hard for you to say what you mean instead of making snarky implications? Given your responses so far, I'm not hopeful that this thread is likely to be constructive. Be well.
- morgante 10y agoYes.
- toomuchstuff 10y agoNope.
- dx034 10y agoWhy?
