In brief

摘要

Google may lose the right to operate in China after Beijing objected to its efforts to skirt censorship controls. In March, the search-engine company began automatically redirecting users on the Chinese mainland to its uncensored site in Hong Kong. Chinese authorities indicated on June 29 that they would not renew Google's license if it continued the practice. Google has proposed a compromise whereby it would point users to the unfiltered Hong Kong site rather than routing them there automatically.
