It's not blocked here in Taiwan. I wonder if they're blocking it because of the GDPR?

Yes it is almost certainly blocked due to a misunderstanding of what the GDPR is.

“Misunderstanding”? Not necessarily. More like “not caring enough about Europe to bother researching how to comply”.

This is the natural reaction when random parts of the world decide to try to regulate what sorts of sites you’re allowed to put on the internet.

Another possibility is that they understand GDPR perfectly, and chose not to take on the immense liability associated with accepting traffic from those that are "protected" by it. It's a perfectly reasonable, logical decision, given that GDPR is a complex piece of legislation with enormous room for different interpretations under the laws of 28 unique countries, the enforcement of which is fraught with conflicts of interest.
