Google says China is blocking Gmail

If you live in China and have problems accessing Google's services like Gmail, it isn't a problem on Google's side - it's China. According to Google, they discovered no technical issues on their side after extensive checking out problems users have been having - inability to log in, errors when sending email, and instant messaging not working most of the time. Google has mentioned that the problem seems to stem from the country itself. Apparently the government isn't too happy with their users making use of the search engine giant's services especially after Google has refused to comply with them when asked to censor search results for banned websites.
