Should Google just leave the Chinese market for good?

With Sergey Brin transversing to Washington this week to meet with lawmakers (and apparently their stuffed-shirt attitudes) on net neutrality, he's also in the hot seat for referencing that Google should not have censored its results on its Chinese search site -- and that Google may just leave China altogether. While this seems like a far-fetched statement -- with China being the fastest-growth internet country on the planet -- it does harken back to Google "doing no evil". China's repressive communist regime and inexcusable human rights travesties make it a target for many critics, yet more U.S companies have set up shop there for the incredible cost savings. These companies apparently don't mind "doing a little evil" if it translates into profits for shareholders, right?

Well, Google may be in the decision mode to exit China completely, insofar as its China domain (www.google.cn), leaving its worldly Google domain (www.google.com) intact, although the Chinese government would sure block all remaining access to the local domain as well. This is quite a reversal from Google's earlier stance, and regarding the "right thing to do" for civilization and to fall inline with Google's mantra of "do no evil" this is, strangely, a welcome admission from the Google folks.
