CNN Money <\/a>has the latest in the ongoing saga of Google in China:<\/p>\n

\nGoogle slightly altered its business strategy in China late Monday in an attempt to balance the company’s desire to keep its Chinese website with its goal of avoiding self-censorship.<\/p>\n

Google for the past three months has been automatically redirecting visitors to its Chinese site, google.cn, to its Hong Kong search engine, google.com.hk. Though Google does not sensor results on the Hong Kong site for users in mainland China, the Chinese government does.<\/p>\n

Still, Chinese government officials told the search giant that it finds the auto-redirect “unacceptable” and would likely revoke Google’s license to operate in country if it continues that practice, according to a company blog post.<\/p>\n

As a result, Google said that over the next several days, it will stop automatically directing its mainland Chinese users to its Hong Kong search engine. Instead, it has begun to display a “landing page” on google.cn for some users, which requires users to click on an image that links to the Hong Kong site. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Update: See the explanation of the latest move <\/a>on the Google from Chief Legal Officer David Drummond and a post by Rebecca MacKinnon <\/a>in which she outlines four possible scenarios of what will happen next.<\/p>\n
