The real problem with Google's china target is that China's internet is full of garbage. Public webpages values are near-zero because of the censorship. Nobody is willing to post publicly. The search results will be Garbage In Garbage Out. People are turning into invite-only "circles" like Wechat or Zhihu, where the real discussions happen and content generates. These sites are mostly non-indexable mobile apps and with billions of users.
It's an dead end for Google and any other search engine business. Even China's domestic search engine Baidu is dead long ago and pivoted to AI strategy
