I see in the Tauck “ How You See the World Matters” that many popular websites (such as Gmail, Google, Facebook and others) are blocked by the Chinese government and are thus unavailable.
What email service provider is not blocked?

Internet in mainland China was very fast though, as you note, censored. Very uneven and illogical to the casual observer. CNN wasn't blocked, but the New York Times was (the latter had done something which specifically ticked off the government). What is blocked and not blocked can change without notice.
Once you get to HK, then everything is open.
It is a great trip and very educational in the broadest sense of the word (culture, politics, technology, dining, architecture, natural wonders, history, ...).

You can bypass it and use vpn (there's lots of cheap, moderate speed vpn that you can easily download in app-store if you use iphone or playstore if you use other smartphone). it worked just fine for me to use google and other restricted applications in mainland china.
