Quick answer: Firebase Analytics is Unavailable for mainland China production stacks. Chinaready Stack Break Lab probes show that core Firebase services are inaccessible from mainland China; a few hosts may still connect, but Chinaready does not recommend using them. Google cloud services of this class are effectively disabled for mainland China and carry explicit compliance risk. Map App analytics to Alibaba Cloud EMAS, Umeng+. Availability in China: Unavailable.

Firebase Analytics in mainland China
Stack Break Lab findings
Chinaready's Firebase Stack Break Lab results (frontend, backend Admin SDK, and transport probes from a mainland China node) show that core Firebase services — including Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Storage, Cloud Functions, FCM, and Remote Config — are blocked or otherwise inaccessible. A small number of hosts may still appear reachable at the transport layer (including Firebase Analytics), but Chinaready does not recommend depending on those paths for production App analytics in mainland China.
Compliance risk
Google cloud services such as Firebase Analytics are effectively disabled for mainland China use. Keeping them in a China-facing product stack creates explicit compliance risk — including cross-border personal-information transfer under China's Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL), data-residency expectations, and app-store / regulator scrutiny. Prefer a domestic analytics stack instead of treating partial connectivity as a go-ahead signal.
What to use instead
Umeng+ (友盟+) — Default Firebase Analytics / Google Analytics replacement for China Apps, mini-programs, and H5-in-App surfaces, with high SDK coverage across domestic distribution channels.
Alibaba Cloud EMAS — Alibaba Cloud mobile suite covering analytics alongside crash and performance monitoring when you need a broader China-cloud mobile operations path.
Generally available · Global analog unavailable in China
Alibaba Cloud EMAS provides mobile application services including analytics and stability-related capabilities.
China context: EMAS is Alibaba Cloud's mobile application suite covering crash/performance monitoring and analytics for China apps. Its push capability is profiled separately as Alibaba Cloud Mobile Push in Push Notifications & Multichannel Messaging.
Growth, Content & Experience · Product Analytics & User Insights · Direct alternative
Generally available · Global analog unavailable in China
Umeng+ provides App and mini-program analytics, device identification, retention and funnel analysis, and distribution-channel monitoring for China-facing mobile products.
China context: Default Google Analytics / Firebase Analytics replacement when the product is a China App, mini-program, or H5-in-App experience. App SDK coverage across domestic distribution channels is extremely high. Prefer Baidu Tongji for standalone websites and SEO-led landing pages.
No for mainland China production analytics. Chinaready labels Firebase Analytics as Unavailable. Stack Break Lab probes from a mainland China node show that core Firebase services are inaccessible; a few hosts may still connect, but Chinaready does not recommend using them. Google cloud services of this class are effectively disabled for mainland China and carry explicit compliance risk.
What do Chinaready Firebase connectivity tests show?
Chinaready Stack Break Lab measures Firebase from a mainland China node across frontend (browser / client SDK), backend (Admin SDK), and transport (raw host reachability). Core services such as Authentication, Firestore, Storage, Functions, FCM, and Remote Config are blocked. Occasional transport-level reachability for Firebase Analytics or similar hosts should not be treated as production readiness.
Why is Firebase Analytics a compliance risk in mainland China?
Firebase Analytics is a Google cloud service that is effectively disabled for mainland China. Continuing to collect App telemetry through it exposes the product to explicit compliance risk under China's Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL) and related cross-border data rules, plus app-store and regulator scrutiny. Use a domestic analytics provider for China-facing traffic.
What are the best China alternatives to Firebase Analytics?
Chinaready Landscape currently maps Firebase Analytics to Alibaba Cloud EMAS, Umeng+. Prefer Umeng+ for App, mini-program, and H5-in-App measurement, and Alibaba Cloud EMAS when you want analytics inside a broader China-cloud mobile operations suite. Treat this as a research shortlist and confirm consent, PIPL, and event taxonomy before production adoption.
