A user reported that https access to wikipedia.org has been available for China since last November. Let's run some tests to see if this is true for most users.
Being in Beijing currently I can confirm that I can access https://wikipedia.org/ without problems. Now how to proceed?
Also see bug 53739
Current testing seems to show that https to the mobile (m.) domain is blocked most of the time, but https to the desktop site is not.
Sweet! Citation / link to data?
Liangent pointed me to https://en.greatfire.org/https/en.wikipedia.org and https://en.greatfire.org/https/en.m.wikipedia.org. We also received OTRS reports from the Wikipedia app beta users about not being able to access wiki with the new app (which routes all requests to m. domains) while the old app worked just fine (it routes all requests to the regular domains). Both force https.
