#1 Google played footsie with the Chinese oligarchy; now they pay the price.

#2 My lovely wife tells me that this isn't an issue of brave Google against the evil Chinese.

It's about Google wanting to be treated differently then all other foreign IT companies when it comes to online pr0n, just a step or two below where angels tread.

Apparently the Chinese government has made it plain to Google: Do something about online pr0n.

Google's reply: If you make us do this, we will leave.

Chinese Government: Don't let the door hit ya on the way out.
