> Github is not at all important to China If that were the case, I don't think they would have backed down and allowed access to Github again.

  Or maybe by blocking it during the timeframe they did, they have accomplished their mission and there was no further need for blocking. I sincerely doubt github is at all important to China.

    again, then why did they unblock it? it is important, we're in a new paradigm for software where developing in the open leads to higher quality software written faster than previous ways

      It's hardly a new paradigm, it's just a place with a lot of software that you'd otherwise have to write from scratch. It's merely software development catching up with everything else.
