It worked for a day or two then stopped working. It didn't matter how many times I refreshed my bridges list, it just wouldn't work. Luckily I provisioned an Azure VM in Hong Kong which I could access via RDP to keep access to GMail, Facebook etc.

Did you provisioned an Azure VM while you were in Hong Kong or an Azure VM that was hosted in Hong Kong?

The VM was in Hong Kong. I was in Mainland China.

HK is not affected by the GFW, as far as I know.
