Google nixing Nexus One event in Beijing?

From CNET News.com: Google's deteriorating relationship with the Chinese government is proving to be a real drag for software developers in that nation's capital.

The search giant has reportedly canceled the Beijing event at which it had planned to evangelize its new Nexus One Android smartphone. So while the Nexus One road show will stop in Hong Kong and Taiwan, it is skipping the Chinese capital. Said a source close to the company, "If Google did not have such an issue with the Chinese government, they would have conducted a similar event in China too."

Google has already delayed the launch of two Android phones in China, though Beijing insists it does not intend to limit the OS's use in the country.

I've asked Google for comment on the matter and will update here if I'm offered one.
