S3 access is broken in China.

Things to try from the top of my head:

• You could try to pass an accessible mirror to node-pre-gyp.
  Although I'm not aware of any mirrors for node-mapnik.
• Try to somehow proxy your way through the GFW.
• Build mapnik and node-mapnik from source although that would be a tough rough road as you'd
  • need a powerfull machine and quite some time
  • have to compile all dependencies from source (https://github.com/mapbox/windows-builds/tree/master/scripts) as all pre-built binary deps packages are also located on S3
