Google was in China until their internal network was (supposedly) compromised by the the Chinese Government. This is a fact.

Google was not the #1 search engine in China. This is also a fact.

Whether they 'got their ass handed to them' is another story, which could be supported by numbers, though it's somewhat subjective.

Google made a deal with the Chinese government to censor search results - also a fact.

Google's penetration in China was very low (we've had native Chinese speakers living with us for the last three years and they had hardly heard of Google).

Not only is Google's share in China low, it's falling.
