I teach English online. Several of my students in China use VPN to get right around their government's censorship, and they do it so casually that's it's obviously a regular thing for them.
"The internet interprets censorship as damage and routes around it" - John Gilmore said this 25 years ago, even before the release of Win95, when there were still damn few of us out on the web, (connecting to the net with winblows 3.1 was not simple)
China has claimed to have blocked VPNs. Your use of the present tense implies that the regime has not succeeded.

Yes, yes, my words do indeed imply just that :)
Nice convo guys :)
In China there is plenty of Laws that noone care about.
Law never really mattered there anyway. This is still wild country, far from being ruled by law and regulations.
