To be fair, a number of those are regularly and/or completely blocked in China, e.g. Google Drive[1] and encrypted.google.com[2] completely (if I'm reading those right) and gmail[3] often enough to be notable.

Also, Android in China is completely degoogleified. No Google accounts, no Play, no GMail...

The translation of your link for Gmail says Gmail is (only) 9% blocked in China.

If Gmail didn't work 9% of the time, nobody would use it.

right, which is why I said "often enough to be notable". Nearly 1 out of 10 visits blocked would certainly make use of it difficult. However, almost all of the samples for gmail are colored orange, but google translate doesn't do a great job of translating the legend ("矛盾" -> "Contradiction"?), or at least I'm not sure what that means.
