Interesting site. I entered google.com and it was all OKs. I thought google was blocked in China.

This varies regionally. I'm commenting from Shanghai. Last time I was in Shenzhen it was blocked.

It's CloudFlare the firewall seems to be blocking sometimes, I am in Shanghai and HN comes and goes at random. Plus I notice the same thing on other CF sites. China is a pain for almost all CDNs
