Google

(GOOG) - Get Report

says a week after it stopped censoring its search engine in China, the company's mobile services were being partially blocked, reports say.

Google stated its mobile services were "partially blocked" on a Web site listing the availability of its Chinese services Monday, the

Wall Street Journal

reports. Previously, the Web site has said there were "no issues" with its mobile services.

It was unclear, however, whether this was definite retaliation from the Chinese government or if it was one of the several routine Internet blocks in China, the company told the

Journal

.

In an interview with the

Journal

last week, Google co-founder Sergey Brin said the company is hopeful that its services will remain accessible and is reviewing all its operations to decide which ones to migrate to Hong Kong.

Last week,

China Unicom

(CHU) - Get Report

, China's second largest mobile operator, said it wouldn't put Google search in some new phones, citing the company's decision to stop censoring.
