IMHO there isn't much effect of Google not being in China. Baidu works for Chinese uses. I've seen an argument that Google would be a better, freer experience, but Dragonfly shows that wouldn't really be the case.

If we can take "freer" out of the argument for a minute.. (because not everyone in the world places personal freedom on the same level of importance)

Better search results? Better quality of information for Chinese researchers and developers? Better road information? Or email? Cloud services?
