April 6th. Today is my fourth day holding Monero. I only have 1.09 Monero, which I bought at 322. Let me tell you where I'm from; I'm from China. The regulations here are very strict. VPNs are not allowed, and of course, even mining is prohibited. Things have loosened a bit now because cryptocurrency is considered your private property as long as you don't participate in money laundering. Would you like to learn more about China? Feel free to ask me.

Hi everyone, because this place offers better privacy, I've decided to start writing my diary here today.

Yes, I am very interested about China
Is there any kind of p2p community?
What role do fiatcoins play?
Is it possible to talk about Monero in Chinese social media without shadowban?
Interesting! I am also curious about this. Are you able to access and use a VPN, or is it not possible at all? If it is being used, how does it get detected?

@Unstirred probably some IP range bans and deep packet inspection. VPN protocols seldom have obfuscation built-in.
This QUIC encapsulation approach from Mullvad is probably the coolest I've seen so far.
Realistically, if you're targeted at all, it will be obvious that you're using a VPN via metadata like having one single connection with a lot of consistent traffic. In these hostile cases, Tor is really your only bet, it's made to resist this degree of censorship.
Most entry nodes are likely blocked, but bridges are certainly an option.
@Unstirred For the technicallities see this talk:

+1 I'm interested if any stable coins have found use day to day in china?
a website I like (unifans) markets itself as a patreon type site catering towards chinese creators, and has payouts via USDT, which made me curious
