Google moves out of China and into Hong Kong

From the article:

So earlier today we stopped censoring our search services?Google Search, Google News, and Google Images?on Google.cn. Users visiting Google.cn are now being redirected to Google.com.hk, where we are offering uncensored search in simplified Chinese, specifically designed for users in mainland China and delivered via our servers in Hong Kong. Users in Hong Kong will continue to receive their existing uncensored, traditional Chinese service, also from Google.com.hk. Due to the increased load on our Hong Kong servers and the complicated nature of these changes, users may see some slowdown in service or find some products temporarily inaccessible as we switch everything over.

The great firewall of china will be blocking google.com.hk within a day or two.

The greedy bastards at Google should not have gone into China in the first place.

That's what I'm thinking

:2 cents:

Nobody messes with tha Google.

They smell the money there like anyone else - like rewinding time to late 90s capitalizing on internet boom.

The Chinese government has attempted to restrict access to the Hong Kong–based servers where Google is offering uncensored search results to mainland China users.

On Tuesday, according to The New York Times, mainland China users could not see uncensored Hong Kong–based content after the government either disabled certain searches or blocked links to results.

China and their damn Communism. It's hard to imagine 380,000,000 people actually live in that shit country.

Misleading title. Hong Kong is a special administrative region of the People's Republic of China.

Will Google sack the executives responsible for this fiasco?
