| We note that Bokee is getting criticized for launching this attack against a potential competitor, Microsoft. But it was really one of Bokee's bloggers, and not necessarily Bokee. If Bokee is behind this, it is serious stuff, because there are numerous U.S. investors backing Bokee, including some based here, as we mentioned earlier (Granite Global, Bessemer and Mobius). Some of these investors are even on the company's board. If Bokee is not behind this, what does it do? Does it crack down on the Chinese blogger critical of Anti, and thus shut down his free speech rights? Probably not, because Beijing would shut down Bokee instanlty. Failing that, is there a half-way measure? Does it come out and say it does not support the views of any of its bloggers, including the Anti critic, which would be the right thing to do but which would still expose itself to a crackdown by Beijing -- which would destroy its business? Not likely. It will probably stay mum, which will only worsen things for pro-democratic folks. Oy, this is a tough one. |
