What was Twitter supposed to do in China, not allow people to tweet? and FB would probably not be allowed to have people write notes, RSS feeds to blogs and play games along with updating their status. Then why would you want a Twitter or facebook anyways. The question of Twitter and Facebook never arises.

They don't deserve applauding for the moral grounds . Twitter and Facebook deserves it, as their refusal at the very first place resulted in ban from china. This suggests

Here was a govt launching cyber attacks against company with a massive internet presence. Google might have also wondered if they were about to be used by China to spy on the world? Hence I think they have gone on the offensive. Google was forced into it because of the implications. Here was a govt launching cyber attacks against company with a massive internet presence.

They compromised with content and accessibility then itself. Google's mantra "Don't be Evil" was questioned big time. The laws are nearly the same as they were back then. Personally I think this innocence card is to cover up the past goof up. @aditya

There is no necessity for Chinese government to allow them ,. also as mentioned they would do their best to make people use their own search engine Baidu., Who knows 5 years down the line, China will block Internet too .,lol. saying its affecting their terms and after 10yrs we can expect them to be in stone age again :D I dont think Google can do business in China anymore,.

China's highly controlling and still rather centralized government needs to get a grasp of what its citizens want--freedom to use the internet without being censored--and make a better deal with Google. Otherwise, the search engine mogul plans to take off. There's an interesting video on all of this at Newsy.com. It's worth watching and commenting on if you have a few minutes: http://www.newsy.com/videos/google-and-china-face-off Even if Google has its own personal interests invested into this move/statement to China, I applause any move to get rid of such ridiculous censorship.

In a business if you are not allowed to have control over your main resource it can be impossible to do business there. For Google content and accessibility of information is of main importance. If you take these two things away it simply is rendered useless. Hence the decision by Google. @Vivek: Google probably was unable to cope with Baidu but remember all content on Baidu is strictly controlled by the state.

For a company two factors matters the most namely <strong> business and ethics</strong>. Google if stayed more, must have definitely lost both of it. Now at least the ETHICS may remain intact.
