Google risks China's ire with slap to censorship


BEIJING/SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Google Inc shut its mainland Chinese-language portal and began rerouting searches to an uncensored Hong Kong-based site, unleashing a blast of ire from Beijing and prompting concerns over its future business in China. China lost little time in warning Google that its rejection of self-censorship angers the one-party government, which is wary of ceding control over domestic use of the Internet with 384 million users in China.
