My 2 cents :-)

- China did not expect Google to do what it did. Forwarding Google.Cn to Google.hk
- China's government will "suggest" to Google's partners within China, to find another partner. This will substantially reduce the revenue for Google within China.
- China's Golden Wall will continue to censor individual Google pages from Google.hk that Google.cn as accessed from within China.
- China's government is going to be very careful on dealing with Google and has not decided how to react yet, beyond the suggestions to partners and blocking individual page results.
- China's government has lost face by how Google has thought outside the box.
- China's government considers control of information of the Internet within China as key to continuing in power. They don't want an Orange or Green revolution to happen within China.
- China's government is favoring Chinese companies over foreign companies. And government run companies over private Chinese companies.
- Microsoft will not follow what Google has done.
- Leaving China has helped Google's reputation worldwide.
- In the long term leaving China as Google has done may actually help it.
