Earlier this year, Google killed its censored version in China and began redirecting users on the mainland to its uncensored Hong Kong engine. Now it’s saying that the Chinese government is unhappy with this approach and that Google’s license to run a Web site will likely expire as of the end of this month. But it’s trying a last-ditch workaround: Giving Chinese users a page with various services that the government doesn’t find objectionable, plus a link to the Hong Kong search engine.

I hope it works–but even if it doesn’t, I admire what Google is doing.
