Democracy and Capitalism (Google in China)

Once again I realized that democratic values don't go along with values of capitalism. For example Google, which has a motto "don't be evil", turned a blind eye on a freedom of speech in order to make additional buck . Even if, the company claims pursuing "highest possible standard of ethical business conduct" does such an awful thing. It seems that all measures are justifiable in order to make a bigger profit or gain a bigger market share.
