Q: I have never used or heard of GOOGLE CHINA, you?
The common one here is Google Hong Kong, is it also banned in China? maybe also for security reasons like Facebook?
Google pulled out of mainland China a couple of years ago, after deciding it wasn't going to follow the governments censorship rules anymore. Now if you try to use google.cn you are automatically redirected to google.hk.
Mr_spoon:
Unlike Yahoo, which gladly released some people's personal information...
very true, and if you use Google apps , they will be blocked . i can't use several of my Google apps unless they are used with a VPN.
welcome to censorship
ScotsAlan:
Most of them work most of the time. But sometimes (when things are normal), they are blocked.
The past two weeks has been very bad though.
Google+ hardly ever works.
Google maps is ok most of the time. Same with Google translate.
I carry a windows phone as a backup to my Android. Just in case I happen to be lost when Google maps is blocked 
As said above Google pulled out because it didn't want to follow the censorship regulations, Yahoo China is still here because they accepted to remove from their results the terms required by the Chinese government (like "Tiananmen massacre" and so on), Bing (Microsoft's search engine) also removed them, no idea about other search engines.
