Media: Google set for return to mainland

GOOGLE Inc will offer online search services via a facility it has set up in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone after its return to the Chinese mainland, media reported yesterday.

The US search giant planned to return to the Chinese mainland “very soon” after it has registered Pengji — a firm dealing with online search and e-mail — in the zone at the end of December 2014, Shanghai-based thepaper.cn reported yesterday.

The Google Play Store is expected to return to the Chinese mainland “as early as next year,” targeting millions of Chinese consumers using Android phones, other media reported.

Google was in talks with Chinese government officials and handset makers about launching a new Android app store in China’s mainland market, the Wall Street Journal reported recently.

Google China, however, declined to comment on the issue.

The world’s biggest online search engine stopped services in the Chinese mainland after it moved servers to Hong Kong in 2010, including online search, e-mail, mobile apps and other services.
