Google is used as a preferred search engine in most of the countries in the world. So you don’t have to worry about the types of redirects to be used. However, if you are targeting the audience in China, you may have to think about the search engines like Baidu and Shenma more than Google and Bing. Therefore, you will have to stick with the appropriate types of redirects to be used, i.e. you will need to use permanent redirects for permanently moved URLs.
