Techcrunch is reporting that Chinese ISP "China Netcom" is redirecting all traffic from Google , MSN and Yahoo Blog searching to the Chinese giant Baidu.

China's internet is all filtered through the "Great Firewall of China", it blocks its users from seeing any news related websites that may put a bad image on China, Chinese search engines have to follow strict rules on what they can and can't index, they say its for the best of the Chinese people, but I beg to differ.

I believe the recent redirecting of traffic is because traffic that does not resolve in China (filtered through the Great Firewall) is redirected to Baidu. So it looks like China have blocked Google, Msn and Yahoo amongst the hundreds of thousands of other websites they block.

UPDATE: Seems Search Engine Land has confirmed reports with Google
