Google.cn Closes, Redirects to Google.com.hk

This morning (GMT+8), when I attempted to visit Google.cn, I was redirected to Google.com.hk (Google Hong Kong) instead.

The page displays a sentence: “Welcome to the new home of Google in China”. I’ve no idea whether the Chinese people can access this website. As announced by Google, Google.com.hk will provide Google Search services in Simplified Chinese without filtering any content, and the sales revenue of Google China will be dependent on the government’s decision about this Hong Kong-based website.

Here’s the screenshot of Google.com.hk:

Translation: 欢迎您来到谷歌搜索在中国的新家 = Welcome to the new home of Google in China.
