Life Imitates Art- Google Meets Goldstrom Meets China

In 2005 I wrote the film Press or Say 2 which explored the relationship between China (Communist) and IBM (Capitalist), when Lenovo, a Chinese company, bought IBM’s computer making division. Notice how there’s no more IBM computers around?

The question I explored was: how would a communist company deal with tech support – that supremely capitalist form of customer service?

My imagined result pretty much matched the reality: The Chinese government has hacked into the world’s computers, starting with Google.

Feel free to watch my short film, then read the New York Time’s article!
