Chinese people for the most part don't give 2 shits about using western services. From the Gov perspective, anything outside China that is a threat to profit margins is blocked or slowed to a fucking crawl, end off.
For email they use QQ or 163.com. Search they use Baidu. Social media they use Weixin (Wechat) or Weibo. Videos they use Youku or Tudou. Shopping they use Taobao or JD.com. Taxis they block Uber and support local Didi Dache.
China blocks international sites because they want locals to use domestic state owned/run/backed products. Pretty simple really and these day's nothing to do with communism.
