Google feels pressure, stops redirecting China search traffic to Hong Kong

In a statement released today, Google announced that it would stop redirecting search traffic from China’s landing page google.cn to Hong Kong’s page google.com.hk.

Without an ICP license, we can’t operate a commercial website like Google.cn—so Google would effectively go dark in China.
