Will this help people in China at all? From an article I ready a while back it seemed like Tor has been defeated there. (https://www.technologyreview.com/s/4274

  That article is from 2012. It's a constant battle, which has changed a LOT in 5 years. https://blog.torproject.org/breaking-through-censorship-barriers-even-when-tor-blocked https://blog.torproject.org/breaking-through-censorship-barr... https://www.torproject.org/docs/pluggable-transports https://www.torproject.org/docs/pluggable-transports

  Well there's meek-amazon[1] which seems to work there. Also I remember I talked last months to some guy on irc at #tor who was using some obfs4 bridges successfully in China. There's also another pluggable transport named Snowflake[2] where everyone can become a bridge by just running some JS in their browser, which may prove to be a good solution (it doesn't work yet in China since it uses Google for domain fronting).
