However, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/thenextweb.com\/asia\/2010\/03\/30\/google-search-reportedly-blocked-china\/\" title=\"Has China Just Completely Blocked Google Search\">latest reports<\/a>, it now appears that China is blocking Google Search completely.<\/p>\n<p>Google\u2019s official &#8216;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/prc\/report.html#hl=en\" title=\"Google Service Avaibility Indicator\">Evil Meter<\/a>&#8216; still indicates that there are no issues with Google Search in China. However, that would possibly change in the coming hours.  Google is yet to offer any statement, but it is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/technology\/google\/7538227\/Chinese-censors-disable-Google-searches.html\" title=\"Chinese censors disable Google searches\">investigating<\/a> the issue. <\/p>\n<p>It is possible that this is just a technical glitch and the Chinese government hasn&#8217;t yet blocked Google Search. However, something like this was always on the cards, ever since Google started offering uncensored search results in China. <\/p>\n<p>The tussle between Google and the Chinese government was triggered by highly sophisticated hacking attempts on Google and several other companies. In an explosive blog post, Google had <a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tech-news\/google-to-china-enough-is-enough.html\" title=\"Google Says Enough is Enough\">threatened<\/a> to quit China and promised to serve uncensored search results. Google <a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tech-news\/google-china-shuts-down.html\" title=\"Google Quits China\">followed through<\/a> on their threats last week.<\/p>\n<div style=\"font-size:12px\">\n<strong>Share:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tech-news\/china-blocks-google-search.html#commentrespond\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Comment on This Post<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/home?source=techiebuzz&#038;status=Did%20The%20Great%20Firewall%20of%20China%20Close%20Its%20Gates?%20Google%20Search%20Appears%20To%20Be%20Completely%20Blocked%20http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2Fcc6rGz%20via%20@techiebuzzer\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Tweet This<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tech-news\/china-blocks-google-search.html\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Share on Facebook<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/del.icio.us\/post?url=http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tech-news\/china-blocks-google-search.html&#038;title=Did%20The%20Great%20Firewall%20of%20China%20Close%20Its%20Gates?%20Google%20Search%20Appears%20To%20Be%20Completely%20Blocked\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Save to Delicious<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.stumbleupon.com\/submit?url=http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tech-news\/china-blocks-google-search.html\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Stumble This<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/digg.com\/submit?phase=2&#038;url=http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tech-news\/china-blocks-google-search.html&#038;title=Did%20The%20Great%20Firewall%20of%20China%20Close%20Its%20Gates?%20Google%20Search%20Appears%20To%20Be%20Completely%20Blocked\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Digg This<\/a> |<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.reddit.com\/submit?url=http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tech-news\/china-blocks-google-search.html&#038;title=Did%20The%20Great%20Firewall%20of%20China%20Close%20Its%20Gates?%20Google%20Search%20Appears%20To%20Be%20Completely%20Blocked\" rel=\"bookmark\" >Reddit This<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div><strong style=\"font-size:11px;\">TAGS:<\/strong> <span style=\"text-transform:uppercase;font-size:11px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tag\/google-china\" rel=\"tag\">Google China<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tag\/google-news\" rel=\"tag\">Google News<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tag\/google-search\" rel=\"tag\">Google Search<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tag\/latest-news\" rel=\"tag\">Latest News<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/techie-buzz.com\/tag\/tech-news\" rel=\"tag\">Tech News<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<\/small><\/div>\n<div>\n<br \/>\n<font size=\"4\"><strong>Announcement:<\/strong> Missing Mobile News in the Main RSS Feed?
