And why is this Google's problem? Presumably you are a victim of those countries over-zealous blocking (presuming you don't think your site is getting blocked itself)
Any shared hosting will suffer this 'bad neighbour' issue, AppEngine happens to be a rather large hosting provider, so its quite likely. They could make the problem less likely to occur by using larger pool of IP addresses, and hashing the domain to specific IPs, as I imagine it would be impractical to offer unique IPs, but there is little incentive to do so (IMHO) You might get slightly better results using a custom domain if you don't already.
