The censorship-tracking site GreatFIre said many Google subdomains were "DNS poisoned in China" on Friday, and that most attempts to circumvent the block did not work. NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Google and all of its major services were blocked in China on Friday, as the Communist Party meets to appoint new leaders for the first time in a decade. Google's own "transparency report" -- designed to detect and publicize service disruptions -- shows a sharp drop in traffic from China across all of Google's products. The company added the incident to its timeline of outages. "We've checked and there's nothing wrong on our end," a Google (GOOG, Fortune 500) representative told CNNMoney. The cause of the outage is unclear, but it comes just one day after the start of the Communist Party's 18th National Congress in China. The once-every-decade meeting is held to select a new stable of leaders.
