For what it's worth, I just tried opening the supposedly blocked site using Wechat, in China, on a Chinese phone (xiaomi) with a Chinese mobile plan (China unicom) and it works fine. Not sure if that's because it was never actually blocked or because they realized blocking it was a bad move and rolled it back.

The block has been (mostly? I guess) lifted. If national news paper[0] joined the discussion, nobody dare to keep the blockage. Especially they (the web browsers) was lying about the reason of block.

It turned out many web browsers still blocking it. See this video published at Apr 12, 2019: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GohinJAkPPU

I just tried in wechat this url https://github.com/996icu/996.ICU, it's OK now instead of the warning "harmful" just couple days ago.
