Major corporations under attack?  Of course. Chinese hackers?  Sure,
why not.  Consequences?  Against a state interest?  With the Secretary
of State of the United States of America backing up those consequences?

I'm fairly certain that the US government won't seriously inconvenience
itself on behalf of Google or any human rights activists as a result of
this. They would much prefer not even to have had to make a statement of
support for Google

What if Google actually follows through on their no-censorship threat?
The Chinese can't let them get away with it, so I have to think Google
will at least lose some business there. That's a consequence. But plenty
of other companies will take their place.
