Oh, and China is blocking Google (search, Drive, Gmail, Docs) and Facebook but notice they don't block Microsoft (Bing search, OneDrive, Outlook, Office) or Yahoo (search, email).  That suggests blocking has more to do with making deals with China than being isolationists.  By the way, did you know Yahoo owns a large stake (40% at one time) in the Chinese mega-corporation Alibaba?  You think that might have something to do with why Google is banned or is just being isolationist and that's just coincidence?

The "Yahoo" brand of internet services and the company which owns 16% shares on Alibaba have nothing to do with each other nowadays. The former is owned by Verizon, and the latter (which is literally over an order of magnitude more valuable than the Yahoo brand itself) is an independent investment company going by another name.

Either way, the censorship of Google predates these deals by years.
