Yes, breaking up a tech giant like Google will potentially have short-term negative (or maybe even positive) implications for their products. But doing this will open the door for more competition, and in the long run will lead to new innovations and technologies, and a stronger economy.
Chinese tech giants might take market share from Google, but other American companies will pop up with new and better technology that will ultimately come out on top, like it always does. The Chinese tech giants of today are giants largely because of government funding and government-sponsored corporate espionage/stolen tech, not because they're leading the world in producing new technologies.
As for Microsoft? If a behemoth like Google gets broken up for anti-competitive practices, regulators will likely not want to stop there.
More competition is always a good thing, even if it sounds scary.
