A submarine cable break that slowed much of the Internet in China to a crawl has been repaired more than a week after it happened, according to state media.
China was forced to divert much Internet traffic onto satellites, slowing connections considerably and making many North American site inaccessible, after the cable linking China to the US West coast suffered a break on February 9.
Xinhua said the break in the cable, owned by a consortium of US, Singaporean, Malaysian, South Korean, Australian, Hong Kong, Japanese, Chinese and Taiwanese firms - was fixed on Monday.
It did not say what had caused the break.
