A new internet browser has been launched in China that allows mainland Chinese to visit google and social media websites oversees without VPN:
News on China's scientific and technological development.
- Thread starter Quickie
- Start date
Damn shame that even the GT journalists embrace the liberalization rhetoric.
That makes no sense. Those are the budget line phones no? Those are the easiest to get chips for. So they would sell the line they can produce and retain what? The top end line they can't get supply for? SCMP going stupid as usual.
I wonder how quickly that browser is gonna be removed lmao.
Apparently this app still blocks sensitive stuff like FLG with an internal filter. Might live a few weeks longer.
Full liberalization might have a high chance of coming back. If anyone has been following developments on weibo, several highly influential anti-liberal bloggers have gone silent or publicly quit. NBA is returning to CCTV today. The great fire wall appears to be opening up. The meeting at the end of this month will shed more light.
Horribly bad idea, especially in a moment like this. I hope it doesn't happen.
I think people have this romantic view that China opening up GFW will result in a kind of "Yeltsin visit a supermarket full of stock" event. On the other hand, I argue that it will just unleash massive nationalists and trolls from the inside of the wall. Remember that China internet users are massive and there are more Chinese that understands English than vice versa. If TikTok and Kpop fans trolling Trump's rally is huge, expects nastier trolls and pranks from the Chinese nationalists.
