Alphabet Inc.’s Google unit is trying to get back into China, raising questions about the company’s stance on censorship in the country. Google co-founder Sergey Brin suggested Wednesday that the company’s recent re-organization into a holding company may free some units to move ahead of others.
Google 's parent , Alphabet , may be doing business in China again due to a reorganisation of the parent companies that will give each unit autonomy , says its co - founder , Sergei Brin . Google had stopped most of its operations in China in 2008 following a dispute over censorship and an attack on gmail users . Earlier this month , Google bought a stake in Chinese artificial intelligence startup , Mobvoi , with its aim of developing wearable smart technologies ; both firms had previously announced an agreement earlier this month to bring its Android Wear operating system to China .
