China had implemented its Great Firewall, then Google tried to come up with circumventing it and then pulled out.

Australia showed no patience toward Google. They were told to leave Oz, or else.

Google didn’t decide to completely abandon China until March 22nd, 2010. They had been at odds with the Chinese government for a considerable period of time.

Now just nine days later, and they are pulling out of Australia. It sure seems like they had less patience with Australia than they had with China.

Thanks for the response. It seems you are saying Australia booted Google. Interesting... thanks for the mention.
