IMO, obeying Chinese law is similar to obeying GDPR. It's not smart for any corporation to fight governments.

And many corporations that don't specifically do business in the EU chose not to comply with the GDPR, which is fine. (I mean, I like the GDPR, and wish they would comply, but it's valid.)

The consequences for Google not obeying the demands of China are just... getting blocked in China, no?

With the small difference that GDPR is empowering people while Chinese law is subjugating them.

Actually the law itself is probably not so bad... in my experience communist states always have decent laws, with various rights enshrined into them. It's just that in the implementation one always ends up with a boot stomping their face somehow.
