Can you open http://www.bluestacks.com from mainland China?
Not really.
In mainland China it is diverted to a server inside the country in 50% of recent tests.
The two are filtered by different means — an unencrypted request by the address and keywords it carries in the clear, an encrypted one by the server name in its TLS handshake — so one working while the other does not is normal.
