Chinese internet wall to blame for Google blockade?
On Tuesday, Google users in China received no results for search queries. An adjustment to the Chinese firewall is suspected to be the cause.
Google's adjustment was made a week ago. This rules out a cause of the blockade, as Google reported to the Wall Street Journal. Rather, the cause must have been an adjustment to the Chinese firewall. However, Wang Lijian, spokesperson for the Chinese Internet Regulatory Authority, stated that he had no knowledge of a blockade against Google.
Google ended its self-censorship a week ago and has since been serving Chinese users via Google.hk.
