Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Replying to [comment:5 cypherpunks]:
 > If there's a place to tell users in for example China that Tor is
 unlikely to work in their country, maybe on the download page? But it
 isn't a dynamic page.
 To the best of my knowledge meek-amazon does work in China and it's what
 is recommended on irc when someone from China wants their tor to work.
 Also I guess most Chinese people download their Tor Browser from Github (I
 tested at the time in 2017 with a proxy in mainland China and I found that
 Github didn't censor TB (the gettorbrowser repository), unlike something
 like this: `https://qz.com/718465/chinas-fierce-censors-try-a-new-tactic-
 with-github-asking-nicely/`

 but it could well be the case that this has changed).
