China cutting access to uncensored Google site

Officials in Beijing are furious with Google's move Monday to shut down access to its Chinese search portal and redirect users to its unfiltered Hong Kong site. China late Monday mobilized quickly to censor access to that content, previously unavailable to the tens of millions who parsed Web pages using Google's self-censored search site.

Separately, a handful of native Chinese phone and Web companies scrambled on Tuesday to cancel or revise search partnerships with Google, fearing they too could be subject to the backlash now greeting the U.S. search giant's decision.
