Please stop this Red Team/Blue Team tendency. It's both binary thinking and a Red Herring. It has zero to do with the subject at hand, which is whether a search engine should collaborate with a government to censor, suppress, find, and punish dissidents or even the mildly curious.
As for moral highground, it's worth pointing out that more than a dozen human rights organizations have come out against this project.

What qualifies in your opinion as moral high ground?

Breitbart as proof for anything? Lol, you are funny dude.
US, EU, Asian and African corporations, universities, institutions, NGOs, (you name it) are happily working and making money in China. This leaves Google without potential income they should have got if they hadn't left China in the first place.
As for the "moral high ground" argument: As long as the US hosts concentration camps for kids, supplies bombs to kill brown people, hunts down trans reporters, and imprisons people like Manning the moral high ground against this is shaky. To put it differently: if you think China's bad, just check out the US.
I might be wrong, but targeting Google (and the rest of the FAANG) began when US Republicans "found out" Silicon Valley is actually Dem. As proof: https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/09/12/leaked-video-googl...
