YouTube China Cut Off For a Day
Comments
Access to Google owned YouTube was cut off on Sunday in China due to the uploading of graphic images and videos from Tibet, where trucks were pictured burning and monks were getting drafted through the streets by Chinese soldiers.
Blocking Western based websites is quite normal for China, where the government has always controlled the flow of information amongst its residents.
