The tech giant has thrived in China by helping to advance the Communist Party’s global agenda
Amazon said it has always complied with the law in India and does not favour its private-label products in search results. Regarding the US, the company said it prefers US federal privacy legislation, and that it protects consumers’ privacy and does not sell their data.
Amazon’s China office responded to CAC that “it is difficult for Amazon China to accommodate such requests, and we’ll relay the message to” Amazon headquarters “and seek their views about possibilities”, the briefing document stated. Amazon soon began working with the GAPP to set up China Books, according to the briefing document. The company planned to tout the portal to Chinese authorities as Amazon’s only store named after a country, the document said. Amazon dedicated several employees to the effort, which involved CIBTC, the government book-trading company, which the document described as “the executing body from GAPP”.
The briefing document prepared for Carney stated: “Both China Books and Kindle Chinese e-book Store are Amazon China’s main commitment to assist China in ‘Going Abroad’, an umbrella project that aims to promote Chinese culture to the world.” — is listed first on China Books’ “BEST SELLER” page. It recently showed a sales rank of 1,347,071. Another “best seller,” about Covid-19, was ranked 10,654,483. The Xinjiang title, which Reuters purchased, had been ranked 13,441,455.
The result was that Amazon took an unusual step for the company: it handed off its cloud technology to local companies so that it could keep operating in China. The Chinese companies — not Amazon — were responsible for “monitoring and taking down illegal content, collecting and reporting basic information of customers ... and working with PRC [the People’'s Republic of China] authorities on all compliance-related inquiries that may arise,” the 2018 document said.
