    Yep, precisely this. It’s extremely hard to block arbitrary internet traffic and everyone who thinks China lives in a propagandized bubble with no exit is deluding themselves.

    FWIW, VPN enforcement is much more strict in Xinjiang and Tibet so I think Chinese authorities have the capability, they just choose to not exert it most of the time (to avoid an ever-escalating arms race lol).
