More detail ...<p>WSJ: <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20100121-717467.html" rel="nofollow">http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20100121-717467.html</a><p>It looks increasingly like the Google threat to pull out of China or stop censoring results was nothing more than a bluff: one they were destined to lose. The Chinese government isn't known for caving to public opinion or threats that don't have a very big stick in the background. Frankly, it seems naive for Google to think it could change that stance.<p>If Google will "continue to follow their laws" and "continue to offer censored results", that seems like a whole like folding when your bluff is called.<p>As to Google's line in the sand? In a "reasonably short time from now" they will "be making some changes there". That's a loophole wide enough to swallow the great wall.
