I know a lot of my favorite FOSS is from Chinese coders. Wonder how they host and connect locally?

VPNs are highly restricted. China has their own subset of the Internet that only quasi connects to the rest of the Internet. If it’s not politically or socially objectionable, it’s allowed with little to no oversight.

Gotta love totalitarian government’s hellbent on curtailing personal rights and privileges.

Pretty sure as long as it stays within China or is “approved” it’s just like any other, but I’m not expert on Chinese internet. I only have tangential experience with it and never visited China.
