Though Google had a choice to work with those governments that censor or not work with them. It is valid for people to criticize Google for this.
I see Google is criticized quite a lot for working with governments. Let's not forget that Google is a company, a legal entity, and as any other legal entities it has to obey the law (of the countries where it's doing operations).
Take you for example, if you are someplace when no one knows you (like a hacker is on the net), you might get away with breaking the law, but if you break the law and the authorities know where to find you (like is the case for Google), then I bet you will obey the laws, too.
In other words, if anyone of you is so upset with Google working with the Chinese government, try to put yourself in their shoes: go to Beijing and start making waves about the Chinese government. Let's see how you will avoid the legal system.
All they do is steal US technology anyway. Chinese progress and technology? LOL! Only if they can copy it from US first. Over 1 billion *****s served.
