Google search reporting every site as harmful websites, Gmail becomes GFail, Google docs reports about security issues and now the great firewall of china block google.com.

Yesterday, Sunday, for over an hour Google.com and Google.cn could not be reached in China. According to Sina, the site was inaccessible from 17:23 to 18:45. Google in a statement quoted by Sina said they researched the cause of this but could not find anything wrong on their end, so the conclusion is that this was a block part of the so-called Great Firewall of China.
