>I want to add that China is an amazing place everyone should visit at least once in their life and I hope the author does not let his fanatical political theories get in the way of what could be a life-expanding trip. Well, having to buy a cheap chromebook I'd throw away/sell after the trip is a bit of a drag. Not being able to bring my mobile is a drag. Worrying that my public history of being pro-democracy, pro-free speech, and pro-Tor may result in harassment is a draq. I had a lovely time when I went to Tokyo, without any visas, special electronics, or other considerations beyond the usual "don't leave your phone in the hotel room untattended" and "use a VPN" type opsec I always use traveling. Why should I give my tourism dollars to a state that will at best tolerate and at worst actively harass me?
