WASHINGTON
The U.S said Monday that it is concerned about China blocking access to Gmail.
"We continue to be concerned by efforts in China to undermine freedom of expression, including on the Internet, and we believe Chinese authorities' censorship of the media and of certain websites is incompatible with China's aspirations to build a modern information based economy and society," said Jeff Rathke, State Department spokesman.
“We encourage China to be transparent in its dealings with international companies and to consider the market signal it sends with such acts,” he added.
According to Google, data trafficking in China dropped 85 percent Dec. 26, and since then it has been reduced to nearly zero.
Gmail has suffered service disruption in China since June.
