BEIJING — Top Chinese social networking sites offering services similar to Twitter have experienced sporadic service disruption in recent days, triggering fears that a government crackdown could be on the way.
Netease.com's service was inaccessible on Wednesday, bearing a notice that said it had been under "maintenance" since the previous evening.
Sohu.com also has confirmed its service was shut down for three days from last Friday, the Beijing Evening News reported.
Sohu's service appeared to be operating normally on Wednesday, as did those of other major Chinese portals such as Tencent.com and Sohu.com.
