An AP story says that's a "lose-lose proposition." First, I don't totally think it is. Inside China, at least, it would be much more a lose for Google, followed by a mild loss for the Chinese people, but, a win, overall, probably for the Chinese government.
That's why, Google's motto aside, it won't leave. Some compromise, in which the give-and-take runs at least 3-1 in favor of Beijing, not Google, will be patched together. As for any "hit" some other Chinese businesses might take from loss of various Google services, Chinese national businesses will probably try to pirate stuff of Google's.
