New and Digital Media Article 6: 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."

In my opinion I believe that China blocks certain sites portraying a certain lifestyle to its people. North Korea tends to block anything harmful to the country and anything that may changed its peoples views, so it's possible that the Chinese Government are doing something similar, they may have seen something posted by the Guardian that may change the lifestyle in China and therefore blocked the site.
