      They’ll eventually block or outlaw VPNs. Encrypted traffic will be rejected. This sucks because that’s the only way I can access the real internet. “why don’t you just use China’s intranet?” I do, it’s kind of boring. I was on Xiaohongshu (rednote) years ago and Douyin before it got rebranded at TikTok. Lots of sexy cosplayers on Douyin though. The golden age was on Weibo before the highspeed rail crash the government covered up. After that they cracked down hard. Used to see the craziest shit on Weibo. Lurid crime stories, bar fights, trucks dumping chemicals into rivers. I still have my account but haven’t checked it in ages.
