>SAN FRANCISCO - YouTube confirmed on Tuesday that its website was being blocked in China, although the California firm did not say why Chinese authorities had barred access to the popular video-sharing service.

"YouTube has been blocked in China since yesterday," company spokesman Scott Rubin said.

"We do not know the reason for the blockage, and we're working as quickly as possible to restore access to our users in China."
