China is starting to block Google's mobile services, the web giant has claimed.

Last week, Google moved its Google.cn site from being hosted on the mainland to servers in Hong Kong, so it could stop censoring its search results.

Google told the Financial Times that access to its mobile services is beginning to "fluctuate".

On a website tracking which services are being blocked, Google has flipped its mobile services marker from "no issues" to "partially blocked".

It's the only real change on the chart over the past week, with web and image searches still available, and sites like YouTube and Blogger blocked as they always have been.
