And you think Google has domestic problems ... In China, a group of ad resellers are on a hunger strike in protest of Google terminating their contracts. About 200 employees from seven Chinese ad-reselling companies are currently protesting outside Google's offices in Shanghai, PCWorld reports. About 40 of those participating have gone on a hunger strike, which they say will last until their grievances are resolved.
