I remember when those complaints surfaced. However, re:

... I'm reasonably sure that happened after Google's exit from China, and the slowness complaints were about accessing Google services outside the GFW either in HK or abroad. (Not all Google services overseas were blocked: for example, Google+ was accessible albeit unreliable and slow.) I don't recall any slowness complaints about Google.cn (which was hosted inside China) when it was still a thing.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoGoogle.cn would put you in a penalty box sometimes depending on what you searched for, so would Google.HK, I assume that was happening via the GFW and not via Google itself, but Google could have been complicit? Bing did the same thing, but eventually Bing.cn was harmonized and I didn’t have to worry about penalty boxes anymore.
