According to the interweb, looks like China is now partially blocking search
results from Google's Hong Kong based site.
This now gets interesting since Hong Kong has more freedom than the people in mainland China, but Hong Kong is still part of China.
Is the filtering only affecting mainland China users or both? |
They have a saying that means "One country, two regimes in China."
HK and Taiwan are a part of China, Taiwan and HK is still democratic. Taiwan more than HK since the Republic of China retreated all the way to Taiwan and held their position their after the Chinese Civil War and China doesn't want to mess with Taiwan now to try and make it Communist. Mainland China has more political power in HK.
So HK and Taiwan would not be censored.

It took a few months, but Google has finally had enough of China. Google and the Chinese government have been at odds ever since Google claimed that it systems were hacked by the Chinese. “In mid-December, we detected a highly sophisticated and targeted attack on our corporate infrastructure originating from China that resulted in the theft of intellectual property from Google,” wrote Google Chief Legal Advisor David Drummond back in January. “However, it soon became clear that what at what first appeared to be solely a security incident--albeit a significant one--was something quite different.”
Since that time, a war of words has been escalating and U.S. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton has even gotten involved. Now, Google has finally put its foot down with regards to China – it's tired of the network attacks and it's tired of censoring search results to appease the Chinese government.
“So earlier today we stopped censoring our search services—Google Search, Google News, and Google Images—on Google.cn,” wrote David Drummond, Google's Chief Legal Officer, on the company's official blog today. “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.”
Drummond goes on to say that the Chinese government has been unwilling to compromise or hear Google's side of the argument when it comes to censorship, let alone the network intrusions that originated in China. Also noteworthy is that Drummond specifically mentions that U.S. executives alone were responsible for the decision to shut down Google.cn. “None of our employees in China can, or should, be held responsible for them,” Drummond emphasized, likely in a nod to ensure that nothing fishy happens to the Chinese employees.
Despite the fact that Google.cn will cease to exist, Google maintains that it will continue to pursue its research and development efforts in China.

China is helping us with our extreme debt, we are taking nearly $1,000,000,000 from them each day. And google goes and does this. I dunno it may not be that bad.
