I'm working on an iOS app which has a majority of chinese users, and I'm planning to use google analytics in my app, but I'm not sure whether I can get accurate data, since I'm not sure whether it is blocked.

So can I use GA in China? If not, what can be my alternatives?

Google analytics is one of the only services from google that is not blocked. It will work most of the times but it can sometimes be slow to transfer data to google analytics. Lot of big chinese sites still use GA.

A better alternative could be to use Baidu Tongji(baidu analytics). It has less functions than google analytics but it still works great.
