Google Loses Its China Co-President

Google is one of the companies with many offices in the entire world, having a huge number of employees that are trying to increase the company's success.

Today, Google China announced that co-president Johnny Chou will resign on December 31, refusing to mention a reason or to offer more details.

Johnny Chou, who was previously in the role of UTStarcom's China president, was named as co-president at Google China in October, 2005, receiving duties for the company's sales and distributions.

"There have been recent reports that Chou was on his way out after Google did not support his localization plan," Pacific Epoch said.

This is the first departure Google announces after a long time of powerful stability, the search giant being well-known because it owns an efficient team.

If you want to do a simple comparison between Google and Yahoo, we can easily observe that both companies are encountering staff problems in China. Yahoo also lost its China president two weeks ago, after Xie Wen decided to leave the company after 40 days since he was named on the job, to become a strategic advisor at Alibaba.

At that time, everybody said they expected the departure of Yahoo's employee because it was obvious the company urgently needed a shock to revamp it, a statement sustained by multiple departures and the internal memo published by a chief executive.

Talking about Yahoo - Google comparison, we cannot expect a bad period for the search giant because, as I said before, this is the first departure Google is announcing after a long time. At this moment, Google is working hard to improve its solutions and, despite the departure of Google China co-president, there is no sign of the search giant going down.
