Since China is communist like tankies believe, you also forgot a fascist police state with total control over the internet tot he point where you'll get a police visit if you post a meme critical of the government.

Why are there so many Chinese people reading American news and posting memes on WeChat? They just keep getting arrested and censored while being able to post in jail, and no one removes their old or new posts?

Answer the question. Why are all these Chinese people reading foreign news with a VPN and posting memes on Chinese sites (with their real name and info attached) with no punishment? Even people in North Korea have seen how American cops treat black people, and they weren't punished for finding that information. How did all these people do it? How did they dodge the government while using their real face, name, cell info, and identity attached?

How do you personally know this isn't true when there's countless stories of it happening? Global conspiracy huh?

Why do they need a VPN to access the global internet? Why do they repeatedly have to find alternative VPNs as the existing ones stop working?
