Remote work/administration too. I work on servers one of which is behind the chinese firewall, via ssh. ssh can carry socks natively, I could build a crude throttled but working vpn in seconds.
China is also slowing transfers in general, I guess to push domestic providers and servers. Even with that if they don’t want to sever all economic and scientific connections it will remain possible, though cumbersome to most.
There are too many ways around it to viably block VPNs and Tor. Both offer bridge services that don’t look like VPNs and can come from different places.

My VPN is in Switzerland, they have strong protective laws, for now.
Guess we’ll all have to download and prepare to share!?!
I hope it stays private, I read an article similar to this one that I hope doesn’t go through.
Good luck. Even China isn’t able to fully crack down on VPNs or Tor.
Just them trying hurts a ton tho.
it kinda confuses me that china couldn’t restrict VPN and Tor if it wanted to. i rather suspect they turn a blind eye, for some reason.
IIRC it’s mainly that many corporations depend on VPNs for security - blanket banning would make it pretty hard for multinationals to work in china

Just like the US gov not catching drug lords when they do stupid stuff
