it almost looks like someone is pushing agenda, eh?
Brand is the most valuable asset Google has. Is the Chinese search market - and other evil projects - really worth the damage to Google's public image?
If I was in China and had to choose between having a choice between censored baidu and censored google vs just censored baidu, I'd rather have both baidu and google. It's easy for us here in the western world as we have access to both and more uncensored sources to take the moral high ground and subject the Chinese to a "let them eat cake" attitude. Not sure if this will benefit people over there though to ban google…
But why do you need two censored search engines? What would be the difference between them?

For work reasons I had to use chinese web, and believe me, the later is much worse for a westerner.
Minimal i18n, confusing visual design, payments that dont go throught, random network errors, total reliance on you having a mobile phone.
Yes, censhorship is bad, but I rather use censored service from a western company than a censored service from a chinese company.
There are not many Chinese names in the signed letter, and I can fully understand. If you are a Chinese H1B or green card holder, and you signed this letter, it is almost certain the Chinese government will contact your family in China.
