I think we can admit that Chinese always does it in its special way, so it's not really a great example. Not many Chinese people would use their web client to book tickets, the mobile app is much more user-friendly - as long as you have ample knowledge to navigate through the system.

Due to the specific ISP environment in China (massive NAT abuse, very limited public IP access, ISP actively dropping anything that does not look like HTTPS to ensure QoS), any P2P based protocol in China is generally unusuable. They are not blocked per se, but they are mostly non-existent.

Yes, I know BitTorrent network in China is huge thanks to the weak DMCA law enforcement towards individuals, but having no practical legal consideration does not mean it's enjoyable to use.
