Google's China problems continued today, with partial blocking of it's search services. China users were unable to access the "suggest" feature.
Google currently routes visitors to Google.cn site to Google HK, but not automatically. Users must click on a link.
Beijing has threatened to revoke Google's China license which is now due for renewal.
Google said on its official blog that it had applied to have the licence renewed. however the Chinese authorities have so far shown no sign that they will oblige the search giant.
In a further blow, Google has not been shortlisted as a mapping provider. Google's map services have been among the most popular of it's China services.
