Chinese block Youtube
The video platform YouTube has been inaccessible from China since Monday. It is unclear why the government has blocked access.
According to its operator Google, the internet portal YouTube has been blocked in China since Monday without the reasons for this being known. "We are working to restore access for our users," said a Google spokesperson on Tuesday.
Last year, YouTube was blocked following the publication of a video with images of the uprising in the Tibetan capital of Lhasa. However, as the Chinese government has the option of blocking individual videos, observers believe that this time it could be an attempt by the authorities to tighten control over internet users.
