Google Charts Blocked From China

[ben]

Hi!

We use Google Charts extensively in our SaaS product around the world. Since this year we face a big problem for our customers in China. China blogs Google libraries. Is there a way to workaround? E.g. install the libraries on our servers? Use proxies? This is very urgent for us - every feedback highly appreciated!

Hi Ben,

We're not sure, but there are some indications that China has been blocking many Google services. Some press reports are connecting this to the anniversary of Tianamen Square, so it may be a short-lived phenomenon.

If it's not, it's hard for us to give advice on what to do, since we can't tell exactly what is being blocked and how.  For instance, one workaround -- if you don't need the interactive features of Google Charts -- is to try our server side charts (https://developers.google.com/chart/image/).

Another is to use a proxy.  If you can do that, that's what I would try first.

Jon

Hi Ben,

Did you get around this issue? If you have setup a proxy please share with me the details how you accomplished this.

Thank you,

Upol.
