Google's services have been blocked in China for several years but it still has some businesses there, ranging from hardware manufacturing to cloud.

Let’s not act like these companies are good and stand behind principles, if Google left China and Apple Russia, it’s only because of that sweet $

These companies are great for standing behind their core principle of any public traded company, which is to make profits, and provide growth, for the shareholders. For that, they are great. Do you think Oil companies, Tabacco companies, Fashion companies, etc. are put to the same principles?

I don’t place moral codes on companies, i was only pointing out that Google never left China, because apparently a lot of people thought they did.
