Internet behaviour of westerners in China?

2d (edited) • Off Topic

I tried to post this in the Warrior Forum, but the admins rejected it stating that their forum isn't for surveys.

I am looking into the internet behaviour of Westerners who live within China.

I appreciate that due to the great firewall and some other restrictions, Google, Facebook, and other large western sites are not accessible without the use of a VPN or the right Esim.

However, I would like to know what westerners' typical behaviours are, when accessing the internet in Mainland China.

Do they typically:

1. Access their western EMAIL; Can they access their Gmail inbox (or similar) on their phone or computer [with or without a VPN]?

2. Access a China-friendly EMAIL instead, while in China?

3. Use Google to perform regular Web Searches [with or without a VPN]?

4. Use Baidu [Chinese search engine] to perform regular Web Searches [with or without a VPN]?

5. And; what Social Media sites (like Facebook, etc) do they access on a regular basis [with or without a VPN]?

Any feedback would be welcome.

Thanks for reading
