I mean from a reader's perspective.

Never mind, I just checked myself, it seems to use the same system as steemit.com.

steemd.com has the correct link, but that's not very good for reading posts...

I think the solution may be for someone to modify the Steemit code and host it within China, with its own image hosting solution. It could dynamically change steemit.com links to its own url. Perhaps Steemit Inc should do this but it would be possible for anyone, as the code is open source.
