LinkedIn Corp., the largest professional-networking portal, said the possibility that China may bar access to its website poses a new risk to investors in its initial public offering.

A block by China is among circumstances under which “the value of our network could be negatively impacted,” LinkedIn said in an updated prospectus filed March 11. The company’s Jan. 27 offering document contained no such reference to China.
