On Thursday, Vice President Mike Pence called for Google to end its development of a search engine custom built to accommodate China's disposition for censorship. Pence gave the speech at a conservative think tank in D.C., dipping into a range of anti-Beijing sentiments, from intellectual property concerns to tariffs and the trade war. Pence didn't mince words, calling on Google to abandon its plans for a China-friendly mobile version of its otherwise ubiquitous search engine.
