I agree to the previous comment but I also believe that without the likes of Google in China nothing will ever be done to bring down the walls & allow reason to prevail without the world being part of the action.
To change the world one has to be part of it.

Take out the word "China" and put in its place the word "Australia". Now, would we be happy for the Americans to force their 'constitutional rights' on us? I doubt it very much. If Google wants to sell its services in a foreign land then its only reasonable that the company adheres to the laws of that land.
It always astounds me that the Americans can be so hypocritical yet not recognise it. Whilst US politicians are criticising Google for helping the Chinese government to enforce its own laws it is encouraging other countries (Australia included) to recognise American information and not share it with third nations (the recent debacle with New Zealand receiving US data via Australia comes to mind).
I'm saddened by Brin's backdown: I actually had respect for Google's stance in the Chinese affair.
