BET ON “SEX” IN CHINA AND YOU LOSE!

BEIJING (Reuters) reported that the word “stocks” beat “sex” to become two of the most Googled words in China last year, according to a Google China list seen on Thursday.

“On the Chinese mainland, it was money and technology that took the honors last year,” the China Daily said, pointing out that “sex” was the most popular keyword for Google users in some other countries.

In another list named “qiu zhi,” or “seeking knowledge,” “what is a blue chip” and “how to invest in the stock market” were the most searched questions on Google in China, while “what is love” and “how to kiss” ranked top of the global list.

China keeps a tight rein on Internet content and has launched several campaigns to root out online pornography, perhaps one reason why “sex” did not score so well.)
