Big Trouble in Google China: Kai-Fu Lee Quits

Google Inc. announced today that Kai-Fu Lee, president of Google China, has resigned from the company. He will be succeeded by two executives: director of Google's Shanghai engineering office Boon-Lock Yeo, who will take care of engineering, and Google China's sales team leader John Liu, who will be in charge of business and operations.

Speaking about his departure, Kai-Fu Lee gave the usually vague "moving on to pursue other ventures" statement, which might mean that he's starting his own project. "With a very strong leadership team in place, it seemed a very good moment for me to move to the next chapter in my career," he said.
