Unbeknownst to me Yahoo, Google, and Facebook apparently are not prevelant in China. The Western companies failed miserably to sustain its position in Asia. The failure is largely due to design issues.
The article talks about how Chinese sites fill up the white spaces on webpages with lots of “bling bling” and information so therefore they see Google as too simplified and I’m guessing not too impressive. This layout makes the Chinese think it has nothing to offer.
