China blocks Youtube site
Google recently confirmed that their famous video site, Youtube.com has been blocked by China. No explanations were given by the Google company that why China blocked access to youtube site.
Google company's spokesman, Scott said that "Youtube was blocked by China from Yesturday itself, we are waiting to hear from Chinses authorities as to why they have blocked access to the site to Chinese users".
China is a very strict country in terms of law and this is not the first time they have blocked a web portal, in many recent cases they have blocked porn sites, gambling sites and other offensive sites to protect public interest and minors.
A spokesperson from Google.ch ( Google China ) stated that they have no clue as to why youtube was being blocked by China.
Months later , Youtube published a video where Chinese policemen were foud beating to death a pro-Tibet demonstrator near Lhasa. There were some other videos shown on Youtube site which were totally againts the Chinese government and confidential.
- Supposedly it was blocked to sway Chinese citizens to use the chinese version of youTube & google. This pretty much blocks off all information except those that are allowed by their government... but personally, I think they are blocking it because too many Filipinos are pointing out that the Spartly Islands are in the Philippines and therefore China's claim is null!
