Gmail is NOT accessible in China. How are Telus customers who travel to China supposed to access their email now when in China?? There are MANY Telus customers who frequently travel to China. This is a major problem that Telus needs to fix immediately. I have (had) a Telus email account specifically because I could access Telus webmail while in China. Gmail I can't. Telus must restore global email access to their customers immediately.
China blocks pretty much anything to the outside world. It affects pretty much the entire internet and doesn't focus on one company "the great firewall of china" they're dubbed. Express VPN is one that people regularly use when there. But there are many just find one that works well for you.
Telus cannot control how China manages their Internet. If China wants to block traffic to certain sites then there's nothing the outside world can do. There's no guarantee that the Telus mail servers won't be blocked in the future.
