The U.S. Web services giant, which makes its money from searches, advertising and other services, is hiring staff with the aim of opening an office in the country this year, according to several sources within or close to the company. A person familiar with the matter told Reuters the company was planning to open an office by the end of this year, most likely in Shanghai, and was building up a country team to target corporate customers for advertising sales."

New Market

[Luigi30]

So Google moves into a new market. A restricted market. Nothing wrong with that. It's one of the fastest-growing markets in the world right now. If they don't move into it, they'd be crazy. So they have to filter some content. All markets are restricted in some way. Doesn't make them evil to follow the rules.
