It is interesting that China seems to feign disgust at the corruption of the capitalist system, and yet so readily embraces the embodiment of this corruption, namely the boundless appetite for consumables in the USA, along with a company which shows no qualms about influencing governments to benefit only itself. I an referring here to Microsoft and the OOXML ISO debacle (and many similar unscrupulous tactics that MSFT has used to become very rich).

Microsoft's public statements of its unconditional support for China's rules and policies just to squeeze its Bing search (and possibly phone OS) into the Chinese market indicates that Ballmer and Co's only loyalty is to the almighty dollar. Whatever the Chinese "rules" require of them, that is exactly what they will do as long as the yen keep rolling in.

This seems to be a purposeful and methodical process; for example, it is unlikely that Motorola just "happened" to come up with the idea of installing Bing on its phones by itself.

Microsoft seems to have no qualms about ignoring the public statements of US Government international policies on China and human rights. Dismissing these policies as inconsequential, and making unconditional deals with the Chinese could be regarded as treasonous. I hope the State Department comes down on Microsoft (and I also hope that Motorola smartens up before they get dragged down with them).

Again -- from the Chinese perspective -- how could they trust the living embodiment of capitalist corruption to choose what material its citizens see on the Internet? How could they trust closed-source code developed by the same company with their personal search records and personal data (also in the case of OS's)? I guess money really is the Great Equalizer.
