Yes and no. Some institutions will be left, and they'll find a way around it quickly enough. I agree that Google is being a bit of a commie recently. And the problem with China in international relations is that they were granted respect they didn't deserve normally only because they show signs of being highly volatile and are totally militarized, centralized, and can easily convince the volatile masses to war (or at least the clueless students). Just a while back there was a fuss in the media over here in Japan about how thousands of Chinese students decided to start semi-violent (threatening and throwing stuff) protests against Japan, primarily fueled by Japan's long-past occupation of Manchuria. The thing is, it was like one kid suddenly discovered you could incite an angry mob over historical fact that would be too old to bicker over except that for these students, it was the first time they learned anything of their history. In Japan's defense, along with the US, the Japanese have essentially FUNDED China's economy - even more than the US, paying billions of dollars. It's not funny, to consider that tons of Japanese tax payers are now paying for the construction of oil stations within Japanese seas done in blatant violation of law by the Chinese government. They've finally figured it out, unfortunately - China has the guns and the military to squash Japan, but it can't if it wants to remain on the map (esp. with US interests considered). Instead, press Japan's buttons little by little, stealing a bit here, causing a fuss about historical fiction there (granted, some of the stuff is true, but such is always exaggerated for effect), disreagard boundaries, blame the violent nature of its intent on a handful of students (the people in general are most definitely innocent, but the government fully supports those angry mobs that win them power). I just can't believe Japan continues to help China in so many ways, much more significantly than Google and those other guys. South Korea has also decided to claim a Japanese island, and there is a similar effect of hothead students getting their pants in wads about getting their island back. (Back from what? Exactly. Japan is done paying reparations, and you'd think years of alms would quiet these nations blind rage because they risk being viewed somewhat correctly as parasites.) Now, I have nothing against China or South Korea or even North Korea, but those governments and especially their support of the ignorant hothead students amounts to violent threats against a nation that has remained in peace for 60 years. Japan will not go to war in the forseeable future, but the Japanese pay dearly for their peace. Just think how much better the economy would be if the Japanese were not giving away tax money to feed those that the neighboring nations cannot? Hell, there are plenty of people in hardship in Japan too. You don't see them out in the streets rioting. There are a couple semi-criminal cults that are frightfully anti-Chinese etc., but they are properly condemned by society AND by the Japanese government.

But wait a minute, you made me rant forever about something potentially unrelated to the thread! We can't assume these products are Chinese-made, right?
