This is just a threat to render a blow at China's censorship model, which I don't think is working. There are enough smart people working at Google who realize that it isn't practical to quit the biggest internet market.

The Chinese will react "Who the hell do you think you are, to tell us what to do". I believe China has shut out other companies for lesser reasons. If they get really get vindictive, China can also ban companies who do business with Google as well hmmmmm....everyone except Microsoft? :-). I also think the unbelievable amount of requests and logistics involved working with Chinese censors to block..this...block that....etc. Would make it humanly impossible to run a search company, in these conditions. What is even more creepy about mainland Chinese internet surfers is every so often a message (I believe its a cartoon character) flashes across the screen, to remind they are being watched. And yes they are being watched. This is based on the concept of the Panopticon (Never actually built) prison design:. The prison contains one way glass where the prisoner is never actually sure if his movements are being monitored by the guard. The prisoner assumes the guard is alway there, the perfect prison, monitoring system. Personally this raises Google's "do no evil" up a notch in my books. I don't think China has any choice but to boot Google out, to save face. "A principle is not a principle, unless it costs you money". Searchengineman Google is playing a very dangerous game.
