Google has shut down its translation services in China
The tech giant believes there aren’t many users in mainland China. Instead, users are now being shifted to the Hong Kong service.
Speaking to The Hill, Google says it has struggled to gain support in China amid strong competition from local search engines.
It follows a 2018 decision to give the Chinese people the opportunity to view content, which has been restricted under the country’s strict government regulations.
But this never went ahead after local authorities and Google’s own staff criticised the move.
