I've been wondering if something like this could be helpful to breach the great firewall. Find some high traffic site in China and smuggle in content via various site features such as chat, messaging, forums, etc. The content could be obfuscated to appear benign while embedding hidden data in text, images, or binary attachments.

I don't know the specifics about how the surveilance is implemented, but embedding encrypted payload in benign files is a neat idea to bypass internet censorship, at least in principle.

  Not exactly the same, but one of the ways to bypass: https://realworldcrypto.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/shrimpton.pdf https://realworldcrypto.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/shrimpto...

    FYI github renders readme.txt as preformatted code, but your readme.txt is not preformatted, so it is very hard to read (one line per paragraph).

That's how the Tor network manages to bypass the Great Firewall. Google "Tor Bridges" if you want to get some fine examples. I think the newest tor bridge can smuggle the traffic over Google servers.
