Episode description
Bing is back online in China. Late Wednesday evening in the US, reports surface that Microsoft's search engine was blocked in China. Bing is now available again in the country, but it remains unclear if the outage was caused by technical issues or if the Chinese government intentionally blocked the search engine, if only temporarily. “We can confirm that Bing was inaccessible in China, but service is now restored,” a Microsoft spokesperson said in a statement.
