Oh, I’m not dismissing your concerns about China. Just saying that anyone in China for the relative long term can’t blame their ignorance (about whatever) on the great firewall. 1) VPNs still work to bypass it. There are constant news stories about how this is not (or soon will not be) the case, but for now, they work. 2) Even if you don’t have a VPN, you can still often access English language news. Lots of English language news websites slip through the cracks and aren’t blocked at all.
