Users in China were able to access online services for Google Inc on Thursday, after more than a month of severe disruption that almost completely blocked people from using features such as its search, maps and e-mail functions. The Google disruption began in the run-up to the 25th anniversary of the governments bloody crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators around Beijings Tiananmen Square. China maintains tight control over the Internet, nipping in the bud any signs of dissent or challenges to the ruling Communist Partys leadership. Users told Reuters they could use Google Maps and access the Google.com search engine, which redirects to a Hong Kong version of the website.
