Although Chinese users cannot directly access Google Play now, today Weibo user "肥龙GOR" discovered that some Google services have been transferred back to Beijing and Shanghai. The screenshots provided by this user show that the address information behind some IP addresses is "China Beijing Google Telecom".

For Chinese users, this may mean that some Google services will be accessible normally. But if you visit http://www.google.cn/ now, you will find that except for Google Translate and Google Maps, search, cloud drive, and photo albums are still not directly accessible. In terms of mobile devices, Google products such as Gmail could not be downloaded from the Chinese App Store before, but if you search now, you will find that most Google products have appeared in the Chinese App Store.

On October 11, Oasis Feng, the developer of the famous Android app Green Guardian, said on Twitter:

Android's full set of Google service frameworks no longer need to be built into the ROM, and can be installed and used as a normal App. (I tried it myself a year ago and it didn't work) I just successfully installed and used Google Play on a Xiaomi phone. It seems that in order to enter the Chinese market, Google has really tried its best~

Earlier, Oasis Feng also discovered:

It turns out that the Chinese version of Android Wear still embeds a simplified version of Google Play Services APK package (version 7.8, 20M+, compared to the international version of 40M+). From a preliminary observation, it seems that it is small but complete, with Google account, GCM, Google Maps, and Pay. I just don’t know when it will work in China…

So, although the special version of Google Play that Google will launch for the Chinese market, which has been rumored for a long time, has not yet appeared, there are many signs that Google is actively preparing to bring more services to the Chinese market so that Chinese users can use its own products more smoothly.
