Because of the limitation of China government, Google China exit from Chinese market.
Instead, Google hongkong was released. In fact, Google hongkong is the duplicate of Google China. When people enter the url of Google China, it will automatically jump to Google Honghong. That means, Google China is still in China market.

Surely China has something to do too about this pull out, I just don't know about international rules between China and Hongkong but what I do hope is that Google and China will settle into fair agreement between them...

I don't think Google Hongkong is a replacement of Google China. As i noticed, Google only redirects any search terms that pertains anything about chinas market.

So this literally means that Google hasn't literally given up their search engine in China. If anyone tries to access the URL google.com.cn, it automatically redirects to google.com.hk

Still hope google will come back to mainland of China. So many issues we have found recently when we use google hongkong.

I don't even care about Google China or Google Hongkong because I only prefer Google.com result because i that lots of competition exists.

Yep, how can google afford to lose a big country like China?
