Amongst the top searches on Google China in 2007 was “stock” followed by searches for three banks. “Sex” did not make the cut whereas in many other countries around world, it is a top searched keyword. This is being attributed to the Chinese government’s strict controls over online content and porn.
“On the Chinese mainland, it was money and technology that took the honours last year” according to the China Daily newspaper.
Topping the list was “QQ”, an IM service and a brand of car, followed by China Merchants Bank, ICBC, Stock, Game, China Construction Bank, Google Earth, Thunder, Kaspersky, and MSN.
According to Reuters, in another list named “qiu zhi”, or “seeking knowledge”, “what is a blue chip” and “how to invest in the stock market” were the most searched questions on Google in China, while “what is love” and “how to kiss” ranked top of the global list.
