    BEIJING — Google has parted ways with two Chinese advertisers, it said Tuesday, in the latest potential setback for the company after its standoff with China's government over censorship.

    The news comes after data last week showed Google's share of the world's biggest online market fell following its threat to pull out of China.

    The US-based Internet giant has cut ties with Universal Internet Media and Xi'an Weihua Network, two major advertising agencies that worked with Google in eastern and northwestern China, the official China Daily said Tuesday, citing Marsha Wang, Google China spokeswoman.
