The existing systems in China place various pressures on the people there. You can't make the claim that Chinese people are morally bankrupt based on those cases alone.

The government is, for sure. However, it's the legal system's fault for letting the punishment of injury outweigh the punishment of manslaughter.

Furthermore, it's not as if Google has gone out of its way get into a position of censoring search results in China. Those search results are going to be censored no matter what. What Google does, whether they operate in China or not, doesn't effect that. All that changes is how much search-engine-generated money goes to Google or doesn't.

The people are responsible for their government.

This just isn't true in all cases.
