Doesn't TOR look like other encrypted traffic, specifically to avoid detection methods like this?

TOR is effectively blocked in China, the only way to use it there is to setup a private obfsproxy somewhere abroad, but I believe it's beyond an average user skills.
Do you happen to have a technical explanation for this? I don't think I understand how it is possible.

Edit: Ok, after reading a bit more, I think I understand. For anyone else looking for more info: https://www.torproject.org/projects/obfsproxy.html.en
