I just wish they would stop attacking google products. I have a China legal enterprise, we pay China taxes, employ 15 people, expect to double size again this year. But since January 1st I had to scramble and buy VPN service for all our employees just to continue using our email. I've dealt with a lot of frustration to get started over here in Chinese system but right now is probably the most pissed off I've been, this is ridiculous.

I have the same frustration as you as someone who is also using Gmail (Apps version) in China. Even you can get through using VPN, but Gmail web is slow. Sometimes I am even impulsed to make an email client that has all the Gmail features I love so that I can migrate to another IMAP-enabled email service like FastMail, but I know it's not easy even if I have already built http://ownmycopy.com http://ownmycopy.com which already does cloud-to-desktop backup for Gmail and has a viewer for Gmail labels and emails...... And sometimes I think, if I ever fight against the evil GOV, such a frustration is what make it happen. Well, this is just a thought, I'm putting me in danger if I wrote this in Chinese and on a Chinese website......

Yeah, it just seems to be getting ridiculous the last few months. I can watch streaming video from youku or iqiyi with no problems, but when I try to load anything outside of mainland, with or without VPN, it's like being back on 28k dialup again at best.
