Have they purposefully gone and blocked google plus, or do they simply block *.google.com and have an exception list?

I think they've blocked Google in general... there's no reason to give exception since it's a conflict in corporation management. You know... China.

The Chinese government didn't block Google in general, that would cause too much chaos. They interference/degradation all Google services instead, especially https.

The experience may vary basic on where you located and which ISP is. According to some of my frineds, it's very slow when they access to https://plus.google.com directly, make it unusable for real.
