Well, that's exactly what the DDoS wanted, so the government could just happily control all access to Internet in mainland China
The DDoS targets github.com/greatfire and github.com/cn-nytimes by their so called "collateral freedom" [1]
Suppose github could just ban Chinese IP all together, but @greatfire could easily jump to another host and abuse ToS to hosting "neutral" political content, like bitbucket[2]
Many webmasters have already banned all Chinese IPs, so gradually, every public hosting service will eventually ban all Chinese IPs, Chinese government could easily destroy the rest of circumvention methods
