You should be able to find a torrent file for whichever subset of wikipedia you need, which isn't too dated.

There's even something like this, that lets you browse via bittorrent: https://github.com/mafintosh/peerwiki

Just FYI, their IKEv2 isn't likely to work, and Wireguard isn't necessarily available on all device types.

My standard process is to spin up a Streisand instance before I go there and give me multiple options (Shadowsocks and Wireguard are my main two).

HackerNews isn't blocked in China? That's surprising.
