Planet Google

Here is an interesting graphic showing Google’s market shares around the world, made by Visual Economics.
Half of the countries that Google shares less than 50% of the market are Socialist Republics. See these numbers:
S. Korea: 3%, Mainland China:26%, Hong Kong: 26%, Russia: 32%, Japan: 38%, Malaysia: 51%, Singapore: 57% (Google must be very frustrated about its Asian market!) Czech: 34%, Estonia: 53%
Does it mean Asian countries and Socialist Republics reject the information renovation? Or it just shows that Google is a bad player in Eastern culture?
