The question was whether Google wanted to go to China.
The Chinse Wall is these days a gigantic firewall that would slow down searches that would have to go through it.
Is your altanative search engine in China?

People like Aol are worse than google. In addition to censoring the information they send the Chinese goverment information about who searchs for those terms.
To play in the chinese market they had to make compromises.
Censoring is no good thing, but by staying out of China they would effectivly censor everything on google do to the big firewall.

Talking about this in terms of “bad news” or “bad judgment by business leaders” seems archaic. It’s like describing World War One as “a serious diplomatic concern.”
