China has already started selectively blocking Google Hong Kong searches on the mainland. I assume Google figured it would be easy enough for China to do this. That said, did Google anticipate Beijing would ramp up beyond just doing that, this quickly?
It seems China doesn't want to over-ramp its response, but it's made clear it will more than fire back on anything Google does. Ball's back in Google's court, and we will see whether it grew real cojones or just had some implants.
