This kind of thing gives me hope. China's communist party is ignorant and terrifying, but to a great extent its people seem unwilling to simply roll over for authoritarianism, and display ingenuity in their efforts to circumvent it. Westerners would be wise to help those people out in any way possible, through technology or otherwise.

In essence they are the ones the party needs to somewhat pander to, coz the party relies on them.

But now they've gone back to putting ideology at the forefront, like Mao did. People in Western countries can help by pressuring large corporations and governments not to pander to China.
