I forgot to clarify, I'm using Google Fi in Beijing right now. My point was that, even though maps may be blocked, it really works flawlessly. It's better than Baidu maps, though Baidu has made great strides in quality lately.

But how did you get the Google Fiber in Beijing?

Presumably this is Project Fi (fi.google.com) rather than Google Fiber...

Yes, phone autocorrected Fi fiber...edited it but soon enough it seems. Google Fi is available in the US with certain phones. I got the Pixel 2 specifically for it... otherwise I'd probably have the Huawei P20
