I recall @bradfitz helping someone with similar issues recently, but can't find any public details.

Sorry, we do want your contributions, but our Gerrit server doesn't accept pushes from Chinese IP spaces. This is similar to how https://play.golang.org/ doesn't permit generating "Share" URLs from Chinese IP spaces.

We used to be totally blocked in China due to the Great Firewall of China, so this "read-only" state is an improvement at least, even if it's not ideal. The Go team would love if we could have no location restrictions anywhere in the world, but one step at a time. Getting to this "read-only" state was enough work.

Good to hear some of your IP ranges work at least.
