Kina blokerer BBC og Voice of America

China appears to have banned a number of foreign websites, including the BBC’s Chinese language news site and Voice of America in Chinese, informs BBC Tuesday.

The sites had been unblocked after journalists attending the Beijing Olympics complained that the government was censoring sites deemed sensitive.

The BBC expressed disappointment at the apparent reinstatement of the ban.

But a Chinese government spokesman told journalists that some sites contained content that violated Chinese law.
