Google is top.1 search engine in the world. But in China, it is very hard to be a google fan. The reason is apparently: Great Firewall of China. You can not access many google products in china, including: Youtube, Blogger, Google Sites.,etc.

Thanks God. Gmail is still accessable in China. Gmail means a fast and secure free web mail service to chinese netizens. Unlike Yahoo Mail, Yahoo sold out chinese user’s account info to china goverment.

Unfortunately, now GFW begin to take action to Gmail. In the past 2 months, chinese netizens found they can not access https://mail.google.com sometimes or it is very slow to open gmail.

Now if you still want to use gmail in china , you have to try to find a way to climb the wall. The most popular and trustable way is: VPN. Smart chinese netizens bought VPS and build their own VPN service( just like me) . Althought it is hard, nothing can stop us to be a google fan even we are in china.
