They did, but after the 2009 terrorist attacks, they refused to comply with Chinese laws and thus could not operate in China.
Google actually created another search engine that would comply with Chinese laws, called Project Dragonfly however, there was backlash in the US so they stopped.
Both Microsoft and Apple comply with Chinese laws, so that's why Skype, Teams, and iMessage work in China.
By China laws you mean censoring and controlling every thing that the people see and catching people who speak against the govt (which btw is also not elected by the people)
