Summary Box: Google shifts China search engine
THE DECISION: Google Inc. will shift its search engine for China off the mainland but won’t shut it down altogether. It will maintain other operations in the country.
THE COMPROMISE: It’s an attempt to balance its stance against censorship with its desire to profit from an explosively growing Internet market.
THE BOTTOM LINE: On Monday afternoon, visitors to Google.cn were being redirected to Google’s Chinese-language service based in Hong Kong.
