It's an interesting game Google seems to be playing: playing off China's need to prove itself as commercially viable against China's desire to keep its citizens in the dark about its political actions.
I am, of course, assuming Google is acting in the interest of freedom of speech, and not acting in the interest of its own profitability in China, or elsewhere: I can't see how protracting this as Google is doing would help that at all.
