A recent article in Quartz noted that with a market cap of over $490 billion (as of Feb. 10) Alphabet/Google is closing in on Apple ($527 billion) as the world’s most valuable company. What’s interesting is how these two titans of our industry have reached this pinnacle with fundamentally different business models. No other market highlights the differences between Apple and Google’s strategies than China. In 2010, Google abandoned China, refusing to be censored by China’s government. Google understood that China’s Politburo believed that search was too important to be left in the hands of a foreign enterprise, and correctly concluded it was a battle that it could not win.
