It seems that Google.cn for search will end. The challenge for Google has it been doing more good by being in China, and returning search results that when censored, tell the user they have been censored, or not being available and forcing users to around the Golden Wall (inconvenient), or to use a local search engine that censors without telling you. And of course by leaving China, Google may be losing out on the Chinese market that is growing, but with government favoritism for their competitors.

Google '99.9%' certain to pull China search plug - The Register.
