One thing for sure is that it does not only detect "sensitive" words from a site but also checks who is linking to the site and where the site is linking out to. It also checks on what other contents is on the root server. Say your site is hosted on the same server with a already blocked site, it's likely they will block the contents from your site as well. The content blocking is not consistent either. There are quite few ways to get around it, using UBC VPN is one way... Anyway, I better shut up before they block mine too. :) I think the Chinese gigantic proxy server has a quite complex code base behind it.
