Google’s search website in China, Google.cn, has been shut down and is now redirecting to Google.com.hk. All Google search services, including web, news and images were moved Google Hong Kong.

As reported by some Chinese users, if you are using iGoogle, you will not be redirect to Google Hong Kong.

I was expecting Google can make some changes to Chinese web market, but what I’ve seen is Google being assimilated by the Chinese market. I’ve got to said Google didn’t understand web users in China. You know what, many Chinese people told me that they never used Google, some even said they never heard of Google, maybe it’s a right move for Google to leave China, but I can’t help feeling disappointed.
