This bug is about the problem of HTTPS for languages of China (where HTTPS is blocked). I suggest not to discuss political implications here (and discuss it on the wikimedia-l mailing list) but only technical things.
The bug/problem is largely known but I don’t think there is an open bug for that, so this is the case now; probably the resolution can be INVALID or WONTFIX because it is due to external factors, but it will serve to concentrate the discussion.
This bug is related to bug 52846 about a similar problem in Iran, and resolution/discussions can be different although related.
