It is reported today that Hotmail usage is being blocked by the Chinese government. Chinese censors blocked access to Twitter and other popular online services on today, two (2) days before the twentieth anniversary of the crackdown on democracy protests in Tiananmen Square which cost hundreds of lives.
This however isn't something new folks. Online access is typically restricted during sensitive times.
I am UNSURE and really don't believe this effects email delivery to HotMail in that region, but it will potentially effect opens and click-through's if your tracking that way because users can not access the websites.
