Microsoft’s Bing search engine is no longer available in China due to what’s believed to be a ban requested by the Beijing government.

Details are rather vague at this point, but a report from The New York Times reveals that users in China can no longer access cn.bing.com, which is one of the last American services that survived in the country.

Microsoft offering Bing to Chinese users was mostly the result of the efforts the software giant made to comply with the requirements of the local government, setting up further restrictions as compared to its search engine in other countries.

However, all of these now seem to be worth nothing for China. State-owned telecom giant China Unicom reportedly confirmed the government specifically requested the block, though no other specifics were shared.
