Google’s English News channel inaccessible in China for more than a week

Google news seem to blocked in china, Dont know the exact reason but this posting will help,
The English version of Google’s news service has been inaccessible in China
for more than a week. Zhang Junwei, a Google Media official stationed in
Beijing, acknowledged that the company’s English News channel was inaccessible
when contacted by Interfax, but could not provide further comment.

The Google English News channel, which monitors more than 4,500 online news outlets,
has become a popular resource for Chinese netizens searching for information
from around the world. As Interfax previously reported, the Chinese government
blocked Google’s News channel in September of 2002.

Although Google’s English News channel is presently inaccessible in China, the search engine’s
Chinese language News channel was up and running as normal. Google’s Chinese
Language News channel does not display results from websites banned by the
Chinese government.

As of November 29, Interfax was still unable to access
the home page of Google’s English News through normal IP services, but was able
to visit the site through proxy servers, suggesting that it may have been
blocked by the authorities.
