Try <url: http://dotsrc.org/>.

It is of course a restricted, serious server, as Google is, which means it's
good for e.g. comp.* discussions, but not for posting/reading binaries etc.

And it would be my guess that if you're living in China (or Saudi Arabia or,
not long now, Australia... ;-) ) then it's inaccessible to you.

You might also consider the server I'm using, which originally also was a
free, university one.

It now costs a few bucks a year, I don't remember exactly, but two digits.
