Sounds like Microsoft got the message...just as airlines got the message when they started listing Taipei airport as being in China.
A few years ago I was in Beijing, tried the same thing. Connected to Google and searched Tienanmen Square, results were all lies describing it as peaceful. Was smart enough to install several VPN’s on my phone before I left (they are banned in China). Used the VPN, made it through China’s firewall (surprised me) and the search results were much different. Dam shame this is the world we live in and that our leaders do not speak out about this and our corporations choose dollars over truth. They will all burn in hell.
