google loses a big share of it's users
When the world has more contentious issue like nuke by China I don't think google pulling out would have enough repercussion.We don't hear other companies pulling out.

I totally agree with you...The recent cases of apple throwing it's weight around on manufacturers not complying with their policies of not hiring underage workers.It is the company that is responsible not the place where it is.
Every country does some kind of censorship,in case of China,they are just doing it for they don't want any more bloodshed.Will not uncensoring of Tiananmen square bring unrest to China and hence the bloodshed.

This seems to me more like a rerun of MPAA lobbying US for piratebay...except in this case it is google lobbying US for the China censorship.Why are they making such a fuss now...why dint they make it long back...google's "no evil" is a joke.
