China Mobile added 4.2 million subscribers in December 2009, brining their total to 522.3 million.

China Unicom added 1.56 million subscribers during the same month, their total is now 147.54 million.

China Telecom added 3.1 million subscribers, their total is now roughly 56.1 million.

Good job at deciding to pull out of China, Google, why would anyone want a piece of one of the fastest growing mobile telecommunications market in the world today?

But but but, the censorship! Cry me a river.

Fact: The population of New Jersey is estimated to be 8.7 million, and while they’re not all like the douche bags on Jersey Shore, imagine signing up that many people per month.

    If one is to succeed in a foreign country, one must understand it’s people and respect it’s laws.

    Google, on the other hand, does not and continues to force it’s western influences on a population that values stability over western levels of freedom and human rights.

    If the US were serious about human rights, how about forcing the American companies to pay it’s workers US level wages as opposed to a fraction of what it is?
