The standard Great Firewall error is displayed as "Connection Reset" in Firefox.
There are two (commonly known) sets of blocking. A lengthy list of domains that never work, and content scanning temporary blocks.
The scanning works on both outgoing and incoming traffic, and once triggered for a domain will block that domain in its entirety for a given user/connection for between 5 and 30 minutes.
In essence if you search for something using the key words then you get a connection reset immediately. If your results contain key words then you will see the result list, but further access to that domain is blocked and gets the connection reset message.
In either case the block is frustrating and unpredictable enough to encourage people to modify their browsing habits.

The story I'm hearing here in China is that the majority of the "Specially trained, highly skilled, highly experienced and professional" construction workers used their extra salaries to hire regular labor off the farms and streets to sign in and do their work for them, paid them the normal construction rates, and then stayed home on the other 80% of the salary.
Unsubtle, unfunny and utterly unlikely to fool anyone sentient enough to have learned to read.
Really, what is the point? If these are the best you can manage, then just don't bother.
This is about as accurate, realistic, rational and un-hyped a headline as here has yet been regarding the entire nuclear incident...

The US Navy have run this scam a few times...
"It's not a derelict hulk scuttled in a delicate ecosystem! It's a hub for a new coral reef!"
