in News on December 8, 2011 at 1:18 pm PT

Google’s new approach to China has done little to reduce the company’s need for infrastructure there. The company said Thursday that it will spend $300 million to build a data center in Hong Kong, its first company-built data center in the Asia-Pacific. The facility is to be built in Kowloon, where Google bought 2.7 hectares of land this past September. Google expects to bring it online by early 2013, political challenges in the region be damned.

iPhone 4S Moves Closer to Mainland China Debut

in Mobile on November 21, 2011 at 8:14 am PT

Though Apple’s new iPhone 4S has been launched in Hong Kong, it isn’t yet available in mainland China. But it’s looking like that’s about to change. China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) has reportedly finished testing the device, and passed it through to the final phase of the certification process. Barring any unforseen obstacles, the MIIT should grant Apple the network access license it needs to begin selling the 4S in China in a matter of weeks.
