Ok, Google has decided to close their local website http://www.google.cn/due to the Internet censorship in China. You could still use google global service site like google.com or gmail.com. But if you try to search some keywords within China you'll find that google.com cannot access for some minutes.
Do you know that http://developer.android.com/ is completely blocked in China? So our Chinese developer couldn't update our SDK using the normal ways.... It's Google's official announcement for this, by David Drummond, SVP, Corporate Development and Chief Legal Officer http://www.google.com/press/new-approach-to-china/update.html FYI On Thu, Jun 10, 2010 at 8:27 PM, Kaj Bjurman <kaj.bjur...@gmail.com> wrote: > What do you mean when you say that google closed their site.
