Mullvad works, sometimes with some issues, but make sure you set it up before you go. Otherwise there is shadowsocks which is more of a proxy than a VPN. It doesn’t help anonymize you as well in the US, but is more reliable in China. You can use an app called clash which works for most devices, there are others eg nekkoray which works on linux. These are mostly just different graphical user interfaces, the main thing is to make sure you either get or set up the proxy and have an app that uses an up to date protocol for it.

Also worth noting, if you have a US sim card, it will probably work for foreign websites and the like while in China. Depending on your data plan, eg. You might have unlimited but very slow data abroad, that can be a good backup in case something is not working.

On a similar note, you could look into getting a sim card from Hong Kong, which should allow you to use it for stuff in China while also having fast data and access to blocked websites.

Congrats on going to China, Chengdu is a great city. Make sure you take the opportunity to visit other places too, with the high speed train (and regular train if you want to save money) it’s really easy to visit other cities & provinces and definitely worth taking advantage of.

To be honest, top picture should have some counties in between US/China, and then after tarifs around China.

Comrade Chang seemingly makes growth in China increase each time he predicts collapse.

They really took “if you can’t beat them, join them” to heart, and by them I mean the Nazis joining their inspiration.

Meanwhile, taking the UK as an example, productivity has grown exponentially. Goes to show how exploited the working class is. If production was more evenly distributed, and part of the growth in productivity was allowed to be returned as free time, imagine how much better quality of life would be.

Immigrants where the real ubermensch all along, able to con the gov for all it’s cash while doing every job in the same time. Seems like the race scientists have ir backwards, they should be advocating for their own replacement given this superior breed or human, more clever and harder working. /j

The Brits can make something besides terfs???

Of course, the lesson from this for the Brits will be to try to increase armaments, rather than, I don’t know, learning to coexist with their nuclear neighbors?

I know a wealthy Chinese family, their kid has US citizenship, but I can tell they are starting to have a crisis. They clearly recognize things are getting worse in the US, but they have invested a lot of time and money into the US, such as buying a house and getting green cards. Despite that, they have not opted to have their kid go to school in China. Even those Chinese people that are the most receptive to the US and it’s propaganda, those wealthy libs with vested interest, are recognizing it.

This made me think about comparing the experience with how it’s done in China. Most convenience stores have a small terminal where you can self scan and scan your phone to pay. There are probably cameras, but definitely no sign accusing people of stealing. Then again crime is less common in large part because of people having economic opportunities. That said, there’s nearly always someone there, and grocery stores generally don’t use an automated system.

Logging in to comment that this is absolutely the case, also for EU biotech. The scale of innovation and reliance on said innovations by the west isn’t being overstated on the video.

I discussed this with a former leading biotech insider that moved to China because of this. The big western firms have become rent extracting through purchasing IP of medicine developed in China. They don’t do much research any more, and once upon a time when they did do it, the research was profit centric.
