Time to DDOS the entire Chinese IP space. Once the citizens experience network outages, they'll be able to direct their anger at the PRC who started this bullshit. PRC wins if Github null-routes the Chinese IP space, Github must stay up no matter what.
Misinformation will happen on a large scale due to media outlets publishing the most enticing headlines. It will also push more anti- behaviour.

Yes, just like "North Korea" hacked Sony's servers... Misinformation will happen on a large scale due to media outlets publishing the most enticing headlines. It will also push more anti- behaviour.
The proof that it's China is irrefutable. Baidu's JS gets modified intercepted and modified. Target of the attack is the greatfire repository. I wonder who's behind this?

That (52 Mbit/s) was extremely small in comparison to modern DDoS attacks (which can be in the hundreds to thousands of Gbit/s). It could have been launched from a single raspberry pi with a 100 Mbit/s residential uplink.
Agreed about the extremely small attack, but one pi couldn't have done it. You'd need at least two or three. A pi will only get you to ~3Mb/s sustained ethernet. That's because ethernet is tacked onto the USB subsystem in a funny way.

The PRC's DDoS of GitHub seems a little risky.[1] If GitHub is inventive (or desperate) enough, they could call on their users for aid. The perpetrators would immediately draw the ire of vast numbers of talented programmers. And GitHub is positioned to direct this ire toward useful ends. They could encourage users to contribute to GreatFire, or even start other initiatives and projects to stymie censorship. The outco…
You gotta be kidding. Calling on their paying customers to commit a crime on their behalf? Really?

How much do they pay you to post here? The proof that it's China is irrefutable. Baidu's JS gets modified intercepted and modified. Target of the attack is the greatfire repository. I wonder who's behind this?
Sigh. I'm referring to Chinese citizens... Your post was wrong in every way, in stating that DDoS'ing Chinese citizens will make them angry with their government.
Freedom of speech isn't as forward there (you know the whole GFW), so whatever the media pushes (I.e. what the government feeds them) will be what the vast majority of the public think... Even if you wanted to search for the "truth", the GFW could easily censor it like they already do.

I was anticipating the second half of your sentence being something like "they better maintain 100% uptime or I'll be pissed off". Glad it wasn't.
I assumed it was implied.

I don't think banning countries from the Internet is the answer, but net neutrality seems like a completely separate issue.
Net neutrality is about carriers treating all traffic equally. Banning a country from the internet is discriminating traffic by origin. That sounds like a net neutrality issue if there ever was one. Whether the discrimination happens in the hardware or in the software stack is a mere implementation detail.
If it was simply "about" that, then that would include DDOS traffic. Which no one in their right mind wants to treat equally.
Most blog updates like this post the traffic they're experiencing, is there a reason Github wouldn't do that?
As a paying customer of Github I want them to know they have my undivided support in staying strong against "the bullies".
GitHub should get the full support of federal law enforcement, if not the military.
