everyone by now knows of this google, china spat. but what people might not know is that Microsoft, is taking this opportunity to try to push its Bing search engine into the chines market. but so far its problem, such as of right now Bing is not even 1% of the search industry. also its name in Chinese depending on how you say it means sick, cold, or pancake. Microsoft has tried to fix this by renaming it bi ying. one of the main reasons Microsoft wants a greater presence in china is because then they can have some economic leeway to get the Chinese government help with the rampant pirating. which effects Microsoft's two biggest money earners, windows OS's and Microsoft office. I don't think they are going to have much success though seeing as right now they don't have a big share and IF google leaves most likely the next biggest search engine in china will step in and take the market share.
