Simple solution: Host JS libs on a HTTPS domain that China cannot afford to block, e.g. GitHub. See https://greatfire.org for a practical take on this approach.

I don't understand. If China can afford to block Google, why wouldn't the be able to afford blocking GitHub?
Because in OP's world GitHub is very important, and he believes Chinese bureaucrats are like him.

I currently do consulting work for a Fortune 20 corporation and their firewall blocks cloning of Github repositories. They have over a thousand developers on site ... I'm thinking of writing a scraper, that clones from the Web pages, which do open.

There is no such thing as a site which China cannot afford to block. GitHub has been blocked from time to time.
