As I see it the choice is to either do what Google is doing
It's more than just a situation of, "Someone else will do it eventually, so I might as well" and then as you put it, make a few bucks along the way and stay relevant and so forth. The difference here is that Google is offering elite levels of brainpower/research and resources. Not everyone can do that.
And I think you meant realpolitik, the concept of viewing the world in terms of true/material interests.

From my perspective, operating in China is merely defending forced losses, such as companies that use Google cloud and want to operate in China.
