Tor speed is slow in China, not mention there are rumors on the net that the government uses some fake node discourage the use of tor. Using tor for viewing video site in China simply never works in China.
Unfortunately, IMO, this is a pure speculation without base. The crackdown is not related with Tibet event. After a few minutes search on the Internet, I find the sites mentioned to be cracked down were cracked before March 14th, when the major unrest was break out. Anyone that can read Chinese, please read this link http://www.cnbeta.com/articles/51236.htm, it is an article about the one of major video sharing site being out of service for one day. It was before March 14th, and before you tube is reported to be blocked. The whole thing is about the government wants to gain more control over web and media, as they suddenly realized that web video sharing site is a new kind of popular media that they do not have control, and some silly rules that they made about web video service. So the whole is not related to Tibet unrest event.
