IMHO, the most annoying thing about the great firewall is not the censorship - it's the bandwidth. Every single night in China, right around the time Chinese people start streaming, for about 4-5 hours, the bandwidth from anywhere to China goes to complete shit. You can't deploy anything or transfer data, it'll just time out or get corrupted.
Interestingly, "time in China" is one time, because China has 1 official time zone. Even though it spans 5 geographical time zones. Unless you're in Xinjiang, in which case if you're talking to a Uyghur or Kazakh, they're using Xinjiang time, which is 2 hours behind Beijing Time. Unless you're watching a non-Uyghur/Kazakh TV channel, in which case the time is back in Beijing Time.
