Meet Google's communist sibling, Goojje, a search engine launched in
mainland China just a couple of days after Google announced it would
pull out of the country.
According to
Reuters,
the name for the new service was chosen as a play on words. Apparently
the "gle" syllable of Google pronounced in Chinese sounds like "older
brother," while "jje" means older sister. Since older brother chose to
pull out from China following some trouble with big brother, it's only
natural that the older sister should step into the fray.
The website mocks Google's decision to pull out from China, saying "
Sister was very happy when brother gave up the thought of leaving
and stayed for sister." Google on the other hand, issued no comment about older sister.
Unlike most Chinese knock-offs, the search engine actually works,
although it returns different results than Google as it is obviously
more ideologically correct.
