You can rightly bash them on the China blocking thing but no point making up possible scenarios without anything to back it up.

Note, while I do not condone Yahoo's move to release information to China, when you think about it, it's not that different than what the U.S. is asking Google to do. Both countries are using subpoena or threat of subpoena powers to demand information. Except in China actual laws were violated (asinine laws to be sure but laws never the less) in the case of the U.S. they want the information even though no illegal activity has taken place.
