One bad thing about using computer in China is, anything Google-related either is painfully slow or deliberately blocked (by GFW). On some website, google-analytics.com become a major speed reducer (browser says something like "sending data to google-analytics.com"). Using fonts.googleapis.com have a similar effect.
Chinese people would have to wait until some Chinese company make similar things available.

I find that about 20-30% of the sites actually work, not because they are explicitly blocked by the GFW, because they are using some Google API/font/analytics. Thankfully, reddit and hackernews are good, and they have pretty much become the web for me while I'm at home (we have a direct connection at work).
