Connectivity to sites in China: takes minutes, disconnects, stalls

Does the Great Firewall of China have something against connections coming from Comcast.   A couple of times a month when I try to connect to sites based in China (hosted by Alibaba Cloud) the connections take 5-10 minutes, stall, never complete, disconnect, etc.

 

My colleagues who use other internet providers do not see any of these problems.

 

What gives?

Have you tried traceroutes and/or pings to see where the delay is?

5 to 10 minutes is way more than a "delay" for the traceroute tool to be helpful........ Something else is going on that isn't RTT......
