Congress to investigate Google's China decision

"It is astounding that Google, whose corporate philosophy is 'Don't be evil', would enable evil by co-operating with China's censorship policies just to make a buck," said Smith, a Republican representing New Jersey.

"China's policy of cutting off the free flow of information is prohibitive for the growth of democracy and the rule of law. Many Chinese have suffered imprisonment and torture in the service of truth, and now Google is collaborating with their persecutors."

... these 2 events/positions wrt Google have nothing to do with one another. Google cannot do battle with the Chinese government at this juncture. They need to play ball to the degree that they can.

Exactly. I'd connect one more dot to the above. A policy of engagement in China ultimately holds much more promise for a pluralistic and open society in that country than being obstinate and going away.
