China angered by Google censorship challenge
Flowers were left at Google's China headquarters in Beijing after Google announced they were no longer censoring the internet
China has reacted with anger to Google's decision to stop censoring internet searches from its mainland Chinese website.
The giant internet company has directed users to its site in Hong Kong where searches are not filtered.
But now China's mainland firewalls are blocking sensitive results from there as well.
China said Google had broken promises it made on entering the Chinese market.
But it said the firm's decision shouldn't affect relations with the United States - unless others politicised the issue.
