Google Inc., which moved its Chinese search-engine service offshore last year to avoid the country’s online censorship rules, said it added a new service to collect group-buying deals in the Asian nation.
The experimental service, called Shihui, started yesterday and provides information on group discounts that is supplied by more than 100 partner sites, Taj Meadows, a Tokyo-based Google spokesman, said in a phone interview today. Shihui can be translated as “a timely benefit.”
