Beijing (China) - YouTube has once again been blocked by the Chinese government. Google has been given no reason for the blockage, but discovered it themselves after noticing a decline in Chinese traffic around noon on Monday. Many believe the blockage relates to recent videos depicting alleged brutality by Chinese police in Tibet.
Users attempting to access the site in China encounter the error message: "Network Timeout. The server at youtube.com is taking too long to respond."

red devil was talking about closing all those cheap chinese cell phones industries

china was full of industries like these if they close their domestic industries in fact it was the manufacturer for the whole world with its huge human resource if they close their domestic industries that will have impact on their economy

i cant be more clear than this :(

This is nothing. It was discovered that China has been actively involved in cracking NIC (national informatics center) servers and it can even remotely operate their webcams. They are the primary webhosts of government organisations.

India SERIOUSLY needs a NCIA (national cyber intelligence agency) with a team of elite Indian hackers to protect national data.
