You forgot one of the major parties to the organization--the shareholders, who are, as far as I understand economics, incapable for some reason of being "ideologically driven." The shareholders pushed for China. I'm not sure Google could have said no.

You may not be familiar with Google's unusual share class structure, but it insulates them from pressure from outside shareholders to a very unusual extent.
