Localization of Google adsense

"Google AdSense will be fully localized in China this year," said Zhou Wenbiao, Google's online sales and Operations manager for Greater China, according to a news report today. Google AdSense will work with China's domestic banks, through China's banks directly to the webmaster transfer payment of advertising costs. ”

For the localization of AdSense, I personally deeply disagree, Google has published such a survey, although a lot of naïve user support, but still rational users feel some doubt, which has a user feedback is, "AdSense localization will inevitably lead to domestic relevant regulatory departments involved , the publisher's data will no longer be Google's secret. The localization of payments will bring a heavier tax, so that the publisher's earnings will show a downward trend. ”

I very much agree with this user's opinion, especially the problem that the Supervisory department intervenes, at present the domestic has MII the record problem, there are many other assorted record and fine, many users to save trouble on the use of foreign virtual host, so do not disclose their real user data. If Google AdSense localization, then the site administrator's user privacy will also be "localized"? Whether it will be like Google Pinyin input method "Terms of use" in the "User contribution and privacy", is the following content:

"Google can disclose your summary information to business partners or other third parties (information that does not identify you personally)." However, Google will not intentionally disclose information about your personal identity to a third party unless it is intended to comply with valid statutory procedures (such as search warrants, subpoenas, decrees or court orders) or to respond to illegal or harmful activities where necessary or appropriate. ”

User privacy is an unavoidable key issue, as I previously gave Google advice to Google to learn the same as the government to give some of their own development of commercial software to achieve PR effect, a reader on the humorous comments to "I think the only way Google can be presented is the user silver." This point woke me up, we have too much user privacy is in the hands of Google, and this information is not exactly what the authorities want to be urgent? I do not hope that one day in the future, a webmaster because of Google's report to jail, if so, Google China and Yahoo China is completely homogeneous.

The issue of tax is also very complex, Google clearly pointed out that the users of the U.S. website need to pay taxes, and foreign publishers do not have this statement, I know most countries and Taiwan do not have AdSense income tax, why our tax to go in the forefront of the world, Even some of the emerging contentious areas have to be covered?

Another problem with the tax problem is a 120,000 tax return on personal income, on the question of taxation, everyone will have their own ideas, I live in Hong Kong side of Shenzhen, I can personally compare the difference between Hong Kong and Shenzhen in tax and social welfare, according to People's Daily, the Hong Kong tax allowance is HK $100,000 ( By year), the married person is HK $200,000. In addition, there is an additional allowance of $ tens of thousands of for the dependent elderly, disabled dependants and so on, and a tax refund measure is also introduced for the purchase of housing. The average monthly income of Hong Kong people is about 10 times times that of the mainland, and a sound social security system, a monthly income of 10,000 yuan only a small amount of tax, our monthly income of 1600 yuan on the tax, the total annual income of 120,000 also to declare tax, our tax is too harsh, and the relevant social security and welfare system is a joke, for legitimate taxpayers of political rights, For example, the right to vote, to be elected, freedom of speech, demonstrations and so on, is a dream, we pay the protection fee, is to survive.

What's even more ridiculous is that our tax authorities can't think it through, why the annual income of more than 120,000 yuan to declare the number will be so low, China's tax revenue can maintain a sustained high growth of 13 years, and tax revenue growth of more than 3 times times the GDP, our tax authorities are not satisfied with the people pay less taxes. Instead of focusing on how to Minzhimingao, exactions, and make the country rich and poor, these tax officers would be better off by imposing tax cuts, alleviating the burden of the people, and increasing their wealth, and the country would naturally prosper. The tax system really should be "hiding wealth to the people", not the other way around.

There is an article, "I want to know where my taxes are?" "said my heart, the end of the article that a series of cross-examination said everyone in the hearts of taxpayers:" I want to know whether the tax I pay to become a dinner party Maotai Wuliangye; "I want to know whether the tax I pay is a few hours of flowers on the podium of the various Congresses; I want to know, I pay the tax whether to become a variety of image engineering tile; I want to know, whether the tax I pay is a pleasant experience to go abroad; I want to know whether the tax I pay has become a comfort on the wheel; I want to know whether the tax I pay has been lavished on the state-owned enterprises, Or be an accomplice to my charge of price-fixing; I want to know whether the tax I pay fills the huge hole in the financial institutions and allows people of high mountains to live a carefree life; I want to know whether the tax I pay becomes the salary of a huge tax-collecting team, but it is the hilt that squeezes me! ”

Therefore, for Google AdSense localization, my suggestion is, if Google AdSense must localize, Google Checkout localization, users can receive dollars through Google Checkout, And through China's domestic banks directly to the present, like the current PayPal. Of course, if the payment can directly support PayPal (or PayPal China) is better, support Alipay can also, of course, I also know, these are Google's competitors, support their estimate is unlikely.
