Google's Hong Kong question page blocked in China

A question-and-answer page on Google Hong Kong's website became inaccessible to some mainland Chinese users, underscoring Beijing's sensitivity about the Internet. The Google page provides Chinese-speaking Internet users with a forum to ask questions of any description and some visitors had veered into highly sensitive territory. Several recent questions concerned the June 4, 1989, crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrations around Beijing's Tiananmen Square, a topic banned from public discussion in China.
