In spite of complaints of redirection at Peking Duck and Boing Boing, Google has not started to redirect Mainland Chinese users to its censored service. Further, AsiaPundit has not noticed any redirection on the Great Firewall side.:

Both Google.com and the can be reached from various locations in Beijing. The above image shows search results, conducted from a Beijing IP address on the censored and uncensored versions.

No redirect here, either. Main site is accessible.

I did notice something odd a week or two ago, though. Three different search engines–google, yahoo, and MSN–gave me errors when I attempted a search. This lasted about a half hour, then they came online again for about 10 minutes, then off again for about 15 minutes, then back to normal functionality since.

I was blowing a gasket for that half hour, though.

Chris,

Can you get to google.com at the moment. I can get to the .cn version without a poblem, but the .com isn’t resolving.

I am an university student in Shanghai using Shanghai TELECOM.
I feel something very weird with google in China now.

On March 14, all the users of Shanghai TELECOM couldn’t access the domain , but is available.
I got the server IP of google.com from my friend in America.
The IP is 64.233.189.104 and it is available.
With the help of some netmates, I found out that only the network provided by Shanghai TELECOM was blocked. Cable network and education network in Shanghai and the network in other provinces are available.
I try to ping
The echo was redirected to then time out.

Today all the network can access
It looks like nothing is abnormal.
But when I ping , it redirects to www-china.l.google.com.
What is this server?
Its IP is 66.102.7.99 .
I try to tracert , trace completes at 66.102.7.147 .
Furthermore, server IP of is 66.249.89.162 and ping will be redirected to cn.l.google.com .

I try to ping about 20 domains of google in this post:

Most of their echo IP is among 66.102.7.99/104/147 and 72.14.203.104/147
Few of their echo IP is 64.233.189.104 at first, but it will be among above IPs after some minutes.
Maybe the server of www-china.l.google.com has multi-IP .

To sum up, I think google is devided into 3 parts:
the one I called “real google”: 64.233.189.104
the one I called “substituted google”:
the one I called “filter google”:
Here is my albume of 3 googles’ screengrab:

They just have little difference, and the search results are different for some key words.
Perhaps all of these are ture, or they are just my illusion ?
Any one can tell me ?

PS: maps.google.com is unreachable until now.
