Is This the End of Google China?

The giant Internet search company, Google, may end its ties with China due to alleged hacking of Gmail accounts of human rights activists. This might be the end of Google China.
Quoting this paragraph:
“These attacks and the surveillance they have uncovered–combined with the attempts over the past year to further limit free speech on the web–have led us to conclude that we should review the feasibility of our business operations in China. We have decided we are no longer willing to continue censoring our results on Google.cn, and so over the next few weeks we will be discussing with the Chinese government the basis on which we could operate an unfiltered search engine within the law, if at all. We recognize that this may well mean having to shut down Google.cn, and potentially our offices in China.”
It has been agreed before that Google should sanitize search results that are being delivered to Chinese users. But due to the e-mail breaches that occured, Google has decided to step back from this agreement. If the Chinese government and Google are not on the same side regarding this issue, then it could probably be the end of Google China.
