Google blames China for Gmail problems
No technical issues
Regcast training : Hyper-V 3.0, VM high availability and disaster recovery
Problems with Gmail in recent weeks are the result of increased snooping by the Chinese government terrified that recent revolutions in north Africa will somehow spread east.
Users say they can access their Gmail accounts, but then find that they can't send or load mails. Others have been unable to access the site or get into their accounts at all.
But Google told the FT: "This is a government blockage carefully designed to look like the problem is with Gmail."
The company said there were no technical problem with the service, apart presumably from the Chinese government crawling all over it.
Users reported various issues with the site, making it more difficult to check how the service is failing.
Virtual private network providers in China are also reporting more disruption than usual. ®

Same thing happens here
In my office we do the same but we blame whoever is on holidays or has quit recently for server fails. Blaming an entire country is a bit much though, to be fair.
That's my new excuse of the month
"Sorry guys, the project is going to be late, it's not my fault, it's the chinese."
SSH man in the middle?
Perhaps the Chinese are having some teething trouble with their SSH man-in-the-middle code?
