The Arch Wiki has very good step by step instructions:

While youtube may be blocked in china, I highly doubt that the archwiki is.
Have you followed the archwiki link above and done what it said?

I think you should type

lspci | grep -i Bluetooth

to find what bluetooth hardware your computer has.
Then search aur for unofficial bluetooth driver package of your hardware. Remember to read the comments of the package.
When you have solved your drevier problem, you can follow the wiki page above.
