Does MSE/Martin Lewis own RPoints?

I've been an RPoints member for a number of years and regularly take a look at the site. While in China on business I tried to visit RPoints but everytime I kept getting re-directed to MSE instead. Also tried it on a few other machines and got the same result - redirecting to MSE every time.

Are MSE and RPoints linked as I don't understand why it got redirected here?

    Internet in China is very heavily censored and we struggled to even get on MSE when we were there...................

    Thank you Martin for the quick reply. Just found it all really strange. I was trying to buy a gift but wasn't able to because of the redirect.

    Sorry if my question sounded stupid. Even though I've always know about MSE I've never really taken a look at it until now :o

    It wouldn't surprise me if the Chinese authorities have (technically) banned sites with similar names to Rpoints and force them to be redirected elsewhere.
