I live in Taiwan and work with folks in China.  No problems for me to connect and transfer files.  Also, my wife watches streaming video from China and she has had no problems during the times you were citing.  I avoided making any comments at that time since this lists isn't a forum for political or country bashing.  Even though they may not comment on this list, please note that folks in countries being bashed do read this list and some of them may take offense.
