 Sister act [1]

Over the last month or so, the media has portrayed Google as friendless in China. Embroiled in a censorship row with China, the search engine giant has threatened to leave the country. But now it seems that Google does have a loving sister in China.

   


Just a few days after it threatened to leave, a site popped up: Goojje.


The site is a pun. Its last part, jje, sounds like jie jie or sister in Mandarin Chinese. Google’s last syllables sound like “ge ge” or brother in Chinese.
