Since Google announced it would no longer censor any search results on Google.cn, the Chinese Government has revoked it's Internet Content Provider license. Plain and simple; Chinese people can no longer access Google. This by the way, has resulted in offices shutting down in China that strongly relied on Google's services.
For the last month though Google has been redirecting it's Chinese users from Google.cn to Google.com.hk, their Hong Kong search engine. Google stated that this had been "working well for users and for Google". Unfortunately it hasn't been working so well for the Chinese Government.
Google will still continue to exist in the country through Android phones and other services alike, but for now search engine Baidu will be delivering search results for everyone.
