Google entered the Chinese market in 2005, under certain restriction. One of which wad that the Chinese government was allowed to censor the results that wold come up, and for a few years this was an okay system in the eyes of Goggle. Then in 2009 people in china started hacking Google servers to which Google's response was to bypass Google China and rout all searches through Google Hong Kong. This all do to over restricting search laws.
In 2010. Google stopped bypassing the Chinese version of Google and instead placed a link on the Google home page which would redirect you to Gooogle.hk. This was done so Google would be able to stay in the Chinese market.
Before Google china was developed, you could access Google from any Chinese computer. However approximately 90% of content was blocked by the Chinese government.
This just shows to what extent the government of china has been hiding from their people. This helps show what level of oppression still exists in parts of the world today.
