Operating in china does not bring google profit. Add Baidou, a govt-subsidied competition and being routinelly hacked, they have reasons leave market. Saying they leave market makes them look weak and stock price would drop.
Making chinese goverment kick them out makes for quite nice PR stunt and will not really to much about stock price. And it actually makes them look strong.
They are still happy to censor in many other countries.
Not business, politics.
Google operates in many markets where they are not yet profitable and continue to do so. Their investment in China is very small compared to the potential market and the size of the company, so it makes good business sense for them to try to keep developing their market while it is still growing, especially when they have other products besides search to offer (like Andoird, Google Voice, etc.). Google is not just a search engine. Unless someone's figured out there is something wrong with the future of Chinese economy, it's not business.
They will work with other countries when they feel it's beneficial. But when those governments backstab and sponser cyberattacks right after shaking hands with them, it shows cooperation doesn't work.
