Google China?

When I first got on to the computer in Shanghai, I tried to google for info of some kind....

Interestingly, I found myself landed on Google Hong Kong.

Since my brother-in-law's sister lives in Hong Kong and she left the same day I arrived in Shanghai, I thought they might have changed the home page of the browser to Google Hong Kong.

So I simply went with google Kong Kong the entire time and never found there to be anything strange about it... until... just now....

Ended up, google had gotten rid of google China in March and redirected users to Google Hong Kong (A new approach to China: an update).... 8-O

From then on, google has been redirecting users in China to Google Hong Kong.

Apparently, google has been trying to do some more stuffs with the China Market... and have been pushing out music, translation and shopping related services (An update on China)... though... when trying to do a simple google search, you will realize that... what you clicked on is an image, linking to Google Hong Kong... not a textbox...




To experiences it yourself... click the following link to go to the google landing page in China.
(Come to face my lack of common sense... 不好意思... 8-X)
