Perhaps you could quote something from that section that you feel is relevant here. It didn't look relevant to me.

> Google's options were either to not be in China at all, or to be in China and abide by their laws.

OK. So, they chose "be in China and abide by their laws", and you think it makes sense to characterize that as "they left the market rather than bend the knee"? Those are exactly opposite descriptions. They bent the knee rather than leave the market. That's what happened.
