RePress. It's "just" a proxy, but trivial to install. That's the cool part, that you can install it onto any server running WordPress with a click, and that it has a configurable whitelist of the sites which it will proxy. Simple idea, but effective. RePress: WordPress de-censoring proxy

Very cool. However, I'm betting that any site running wordpress will soon be blocked for people in China.
For people who don't do wordpress, but have a hosting account that runs PHP, they can always check out KNProxy...

Not quite "one click" but it's not hard to set up.
Speaking of China: According to tongodeon (http://tongodeon.livejournal.com/937622.html) the "experimental browser" on the Amazon Kindle (Keyboard 3G version) has no issue showing blocked content in China (well, aside from, say, color pictures). I wonder if the Kindle Fire has built-in circumvention techniques as well.
IIRC the the browser in the Fire effectively uses Amazon's servers as a proxy (I assume the also do some compression and scaling of images and what-not), so unless China blacklist every IP that Amazon have then the content will still get through, and I'm sure Amazon have plans for making money in China.
