Bull****. Google could have told the Chinese government to go ****
themselves.

Of course they could. Then people start getting fired and replaced
with other people that WILL seek to expand and tap the Chinese market
in the best way possible at this time.

You suffer from unrealistic and impractical idealism.

They decided to suck tit rather than stand up to the principles
the company was founded on.

Suck tit? Not sure what that means. At any rate, Google is a
corporation. They are in business to make money and making money is
good. Also, keep in mind that decisions are rarely between that which
is good and that which is bad. It's usually a little more complicated
than that and given all considerations the folks making the decisions
make the best one they can.

It's simple to say that Google should just tell the Chinese to go ****
themselves... but then what do you have? Nothing.
