(UTV|COLOMBO) – Google Chief Executive Sundar Pichai has said a censored search app in China could serve over “99% Of queries,” in rare public comments about the controversial proposal.
Mr. Pichai told a conference in San Francisco the plan was in the “Very early” stages and may not progress.
Google’s possible return to China – a market it abandoned over censorship concerns – was first leaked in August.
The proposal has drawn criticism from employees and Human Rights Advocates.
On Monday (15), Mr. Pichai did not commit to the launch, saying that the plan was still in an exploratory stage.
