Google Search Blocked in China : False Alarm

You can relax now. Machine error caused the blockage of Google search in China.
We’re really glad about this. There is an official proclamation from Google regarding the “Google Search blocked in China” article, that this is a false alarm. A month ago, the government of China didn’t like the auto redirect to Google Hong Kong. So Google put up a watered-down engine so they won’t shut down on mainland China.
Here’s an email from Google courtesy of TechCrunch:
“Because of the way we measure accessibility in China, it’s possible that our machines could overestimate the level of blockage. That seems to be what happened last night when there was a relatively small blockage. It appears now that users in China are accessing our properties normally. Please also note that the dashboard is not a real time tool.”
It says that there was error in their mechanism which caused the miscommunication. The dashboard didn’t get updated in real time and probably, it lead to this issue. According to Google these are all false alarm and there is nothing more to add about that. We heard it from the source.
