In my experience (3 months in Shanghai at the end of last year) AWS does occasionally get blocked or severely slowed down in China. I'd say it was inaccessible about 5% of the time (for significant periods of time).
You can of course run in the AWS Beijing region which requires you to have a Chinese business presence with a ICP license.
It'll be interesting to see what happens now that Google is expanding its presence in China [1]. I ran into some Googlers on the Maps team while in Shanghai - not likely a coincidence.
