Google is looking for an ally in China to deliver its cloud services (GOOG, GOOGL)

Google is reportedly looking for a partner to deliver cloud services to China. 
The report comes as Google is said to be preparing a version of its search engine for China — and that complies with government censorship rules. 
Microsoft and Amazon have already tapped local partners in China to deliver cloud services, because of the country's strict rules around data needing to stay within its borders.
Google is looking to make a grand re-entry into China, after years away.
