Taking a U-turn from its earlier claim that its sites were blocked in China, the Internet surfing giant has said that it has probably overstated the whole thing.

A statement appeared on its website on Thursday night that said that Internet service provided by it China are still going on and that the whole thing was just a technical glitch.

The statement was in an answer form given by the spokeswoman of the company and told to TheStreet.

She said, "Because of the way we measure accessibility in China, it's possible that our machines could overestimate the level of blockage.” Further adding she said that the whole thing seemed to have happened in one night and was a relatively small blockage.

After the news appeared that its sites were blocked fully, the shares of Google nosedived and lost 2 per cent to close at $477.25. This happened since the position of Google is tenuous in China.

The struggle between the two has been going on since January and Google has already threatened that it would leave China because it was unhappy with the censorship followed by it.
