Tech Crunch takes an interesting approach to this story. I don't think we know everything behind the decision to stop censorship in China. I think Siegler is right about one thing Google would have never been invited in the beginning if they hadn't agreed.

Doing the right thing even if it takes four years is still better than never doing the right thing but I am concerned about the political ramifications that could turn into a cyberwar.

Google is getting support from the White House and other companies except their biggest competitor (Microsoft, not surprised). However, if the text messaging six month blackout is currently restored this maybe an indication there are some light bulbs going on in China.
