I do not believe that helping a Chinese company that is related to Qihoo360, which has a very bad ethical record will in anyway benefit the Chinese users. I also don't see how is this benefiting the jailbreak community, except for the compensation they took in.

One thing I don't understand... why do you think it is wrong for them to make money out of their work? I am not saying that what they did was good for the community but what if the alternative was not getting anything? They are still offering it for free...

I don't think I said that it is wrong for them to take the money. It is more about who to take it from and what are they asked to do. They claimed including TaiG is good for the Chinese user and a positive thing for the jailbreak community. I personally don't think that's the case.

Their own app store have lots pirated apps and they have their own ad platform. e.g. One app publisher pay xM Chinese yuan for making their app to the top n in a app store.
