NEW YORK -- Google will run into difficulties if it tries to break back into the Chinese market, the former president of Google China said at the Council on Foreign Relations here Friday.
According to Taiwan-born Lee Kai-Fu, who once led the tech company's China operations and now runs Sinovation Ventures, an AI-focused investment firm, Chinese tech companies have evolved beyond their "copycat" roots to create standalone products well-suited to the Chinese market in a way that American tech companies have yet to offer.
