Isnt it true that they used Google's help to build their internet security and monitoring set-up?
Apparently they are, yeh.

Really it's only Google Search, Gmail, Play Store, and YouTube, that's blocked in China. Google ads, Google's personal data mining, and anything else that's $$$$ for Google(Alphabet) all do operate in the PRC.
