Google Stopped Censoring Its Chinese-language Search Engine Google.cn

Since this afternoon at 5 clock is Google from the Chinese Firewall blocked. Obviously, China is responding to the phase-out censorship of Google.
Across China, all searches on Google's main search engine appeared to have been blocked starting Tuesday afternoon. Seemingly innocuous
Searches for terms such as "Beijing" and "China" returned error messages. Twitter pm users across the country reported outages of the search engine starting at around 5
It's unclear Whether the blockage was ordered by the Chinese government, Which has been angered by Google's decision to shutter its China-based site March 22 and reroute users to its uncensored site in Hong Kong.

The government in Beijing had clearly threatened consequences if the contract Google agreed censorship rules not followed.
