Dozens of Google Developer Groups (GDGs) have developed throughout the country, sharing information on Google products and technical advice. Last month, Google congratulated developer group GDG Nanyang for its assistance in launching the new Google developers channel on YouTube (which is also blocked) in Mandarin. The practise of Google Developers is to usually publish relevant English videos, and we will translate them into Chinese.”Developer tools Github & Google Sites are blocked in China, along with Google services including Gmail, Google Docs and the Google Play store. In this country I can only express respect, so I have nothing to say.”Some of the most active Google developer groups hail from surprisingly isolated areas. Other Google products have been making headway in the country despite the company’s poor standing with the government.
