China clamps down on Google ahead of Tiananmen anniversary
NEW YORK. KAZINFORM Google has run afoul of the Chinese government once again.

Authorities in Beijing restricted access to Google (GOOGL) services this week, according to Chinese censorship watchdog GreatFire.org, rendering the search engine as well as products like Gmail and Google Calendar inaccessible to millions of Internet users, CNNMoney reports. "We've checked extensively and there are no technical problems on our side," a Google spokeswoman said. The move came ahead of the 25th anniversary of the bloody Tiananmen Square crackdown, discussion of which is still strictly censored by the Chinese government. Google isn't completely blocked in China: Some Chinese residents have still been able to reach Google services, according to the company's public data, but total traffic has dropped in recent days.
