I reckon China is blocking foreign social networking sites for economic reasons rather than anything else. They have a market that everyone else wants to tap into. So why let others in when they can "innovate" internally and provide a made-in-China alternative.

They want's everything in control, they are watching you. They want to make sure they can censor/delete/block/FUD when things out of there control. They can not control Google, so they degradation it.
