Bruce Schneier is reporting on his blog that a recent paper is discussing how to defeat China's national firewall. From the article: "However, because the original packets are passed through the firewall unscathed, if both of the endpoints were to completely ignore the firewall's reset packets, then the connection will proceed unhindered! We've done some real experiments on this -- and it works just fine!! Think of it as the Harry Potter approach to the Great Firewall -- just shut your eyes and walk onto Platform 9¾."

Nice. If this works, it is one in the eye to the Chinese authority. I still can't understand how the Chinese government can possibly hope to keep their populace in the dark, while allowing them to have access to the internet. Really, if the people want to get information, they will.
