Biggest Email Service Gmail Fully Cut off in China



(Digital Marketing Agency, thesnsgroup.com)- World's biggest email platform Gmail of Google was reportedly still down in China after being allegedly blocked by this communist country.

"I think the government is just trying to further eliminate Google's presence in China and even weaken its market overseas," said a member of GreatFire.org, a China-based freedom of speech advocacy group.

According to Reuter, Google's own Transparency Report, which shows real-time traffic to Google services, displayed a sharp drop-off in traffic to Gmail from China on Friday.

"We've checked and there's nothing wrong on our end," a Singapore-based spokesman for Google said in an email.

In Washington, the U.S. State Department expressed concern over China's actions.

"We encourage China to be transparent in its dealings with international companies and to consider the market signal it sends with such acts," State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke said.
