Pretty disappointing. China has blocked GitHub multiple times in the past [1], each time unblocking it due to backlash and criticism. Hopefully they unblock it again soon.

#17Hi, I'm in Shanghai and can reach Github fine, and there are no engineers speaking about github being blocked within China.
Also, in Shanghai, also works fine without VPN. The GFW can vary by province. I remember HN being blocked in Shenzhen but not Shanghai six years ago.

If they’re blocking using DNS, maybe GitHub is still in cache for you?

#19It's working fine in Shenzhen. I cleared cache and still able to use it fine.

#20The linked site shows it as up. Was probably a temporary connectivity issue. Other tests show a response time of 10+ seconds, so this site could have just timed out.
