The block affects not just the official Gmail apps, but also accessing Gmail through third-party apps.</p> <!--break--> <p>Said Google in a statement:</p>

<p>"We've checked and there's nothing wrong on our end."</p>

<p>Traffic to Gmail from China, according to Google's Transparency Report (https://www.google.com/transparencyreport/traffic/explorer/?r=CN&amp;l=GMAIL&amp;csd=1416242336896&amp;ced=1419827400000) has plummeted to next to nothing, indicating that there are still some Chinese users that have managed to circumvent the block by using a VPN, but most are currently out of luck. Gmail joins Google Search and Google Maps (http://www.imore.com/redesigned-google-maps-rolling-out-now-iphones-and-ipads) in being blocked by Chinese authorities, as well as Facebook.</p> <p>Source: Bloomberg (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-12-29/china-blocks-access-to-google-s-gmail-as-ban-escalates.html)</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-29145"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/41da7793/sc/21/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
