Earlier this week, reports emerged that Google was working on tailoring its search and news apps for China in order to comply with the country’s censorship laws.
本周早些时候，有报道称，谷歌正致力于为中国定制搜索和新闻应用程序，以遵守中国的审查法律。
Now, it appears the tech giant is also taking steps to bring its cloud business to the country.
现在看来，这家科技巨头也在采取措施，将其云业务引入中国。
According to an unnamed source who spoke to Bloomberg, Google is looking to partner with major Chinese cloud and server providers to deliver services such as Google Drive and Google Docs to the country.
一位不愿透露姓名的消息人士向彭博社透露，谷歌正寻求与中国主要的云和服务器供应商合作，向中国提供谷歌驱动(GoogleDrive)和谷歌文档(GoogleDocs)等服务。
The goal, they say, is to run these services through China-based data centers and servers, similar to the way Apple runs its iCloud operations inside the country.
他们说，他们的目标是在中国的数据中心和服务器上运行这些服务，类似于苹果在中国境内运行iCloud业务的方式。
Candidates for the partnership were narrowed to three firms this past March — those companies include Tencent and Inspur Group.
今年3月，该合作伙伴的候选人被缩小到三家-包括腾讯(Tencent)和Inspr集团(InspusGroup)。
It’s unclear whether these partnership efforts will come to fruition, and Bloomberg’s source added that the recent trade tensions between China and the US might complicate any agreement.
目前尚不清楚这些合作努力是否会取得成果，彭博的消息人士补充称，中美之间最近的贸易紧张关系可能会使任何协议复杂化。
Though Google typically runs its collection of cloud-based apps through its own data centers, China requires that digital information be stored in-country, forcing the US-based tech company to partner up with local businesses.
尽管谷歌通常通过自己的数据中心运行云应用程序，但中国要求将数字信息存储在国内，这迫使这家总部位于美国的科技公司与本土企业合作。
Though Google Cloud’s chief, Diane Greene, wouldn’t confirm the initiative to Bloomberg, the report pointed out that Google is currently seeking to hire a Shanghai-based employee to manage their cloud operations there.
尽管谷歌云首席执行官黛安格林(Diane Greene)不愿向彭博(Bloomberg)证实这一举措，但该报告指出，谷歌目前正寻求雇佣一名驻上海的员工来管理他们在上海的云业务。
