google was cool with playing ball with the chinese govt until they got hacked, so I'm not sure how much kudos they have earned here

i actually think this is a vaguely good thing but obviously way too late. if google wanted to play hardball, they could have done it at the start, which was probably a way better time, politically re: internet censorship-- timing sucks right now because china is blocking all kinds of random shit (not just boxun and dissident shit, but imdb.com, etc.) is it more attractive for google to play hardball after they were unable to beat, or gain much ground against, domestic services like baidu or sina? my conclusion is: it's a good thing, i guess, and it makes google look like an angel, but it's not that important.

Just that it seems like a really obvious point if you apply any thought to it, but it hadn't struck me at all

on the other hand, it's a pretty cynical way to look at things.
and, you know, google's game in china isn't OVER-- it wasn't a brief experiment. i have to think they must have a more longterm game, because china is a huge, important place, whether they own 10% of the search/email/whatever market or 1% of it. google is still heavy in the game, no matter how many people are using it. and i think it's important (if it's true, and i'm just repeating stuff i've heard) that google is being used by urban elites.

You mean that cyberattacks will become more frequent?
