Comment (by cypherpunks):

 > the GFW is unable (or at least unwilling) to block an obfs4 bridge by
 just witnessing a client in China talk to a bridge outside of China.
 Here comes the exciting part: Chinese authorities are cracking down
 circumvent tools to prepare for the national day on 1 Oct. They will
 probably use most of their capabilities, so this is a good time to test if
 they are able to.
