Good if they pull out. Someone needs to shoe China that they don't own the Internet. Google shouldn't have bowed to their restrictions.

What?  Did you RTFA?
If Google want's users in China to access their service, then they have no choice but abide by Chinese law.  It has nothing to do with 'who owns the internet'.

China's response to Google threat: Obey the law
By MICHAEL LIEDTKE and JOE McDONALD AP Business Writers © 2010 The Associated Press
Jan. 14, 2010, 5:58PM
 SAN FRANCISCO — China's government gave little indication Thursday that it's willing to loosen its control over Internet search results, pushing Google Inc. closer to the brink of closing up shop and leaving the country.

In the government's first official statement since Google issued its ultimatum two days earlier, a Chinese official endorsed the country's current rules governing Internet content.

"China's Internet is open," said Jiang Yu, a foreign ministry spokeswoman. "China welcomes international Internet enterprises to conduct business in China according to law."
