According to wikileaks - the final straw which led to this stand was China attempting to access googles source code repository. If that's the case, google decided the Chinese Yuan was more powerful then uncersored web search. It decided the Chinese Yuan was more powerful then China attempting to hack dissidents email accounts. But the Chinese Yuan wasn't worth them losing their crown jewels - their proprietary source code. Basically - well turn a blind eye to civil rights, but don't dare steal our source code.
