It's true that users wouldn't be able to go to censored sites. But then they'd know that the highest-ranking site for their search was censored and might ask why, which seems like a net positive.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that is still a terrible user experience, which is why Microsoft and every other search engine in China do not attempt to do that.

That's why this is a red herring. The problem you want to solve is Chinese citizen awareness when Google is just trying to provide the information that's available.
