 China blocks the Guardian, censorship-tracking website says

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jan/08/china-blocks-guardian-website

China in the past have blocked several sites such as bloomberg and Wall Street Journal. China tends to block sites that cause a threat to it but the Guardian doesn't believe to have posted anything to harm the relationship between China and the Guardian. "The reasons for the Guardian block are unclear – no China-related stories published by the Guardian in the past two days would obviously be perceived as dangerous by the country's leadership. One article, published on 6 January, explores tensions in China’s ethnically-divided north-western region Xinjiang, but the Guardian has covered the subject before without any noticeable fallout."
