China is making anti-censorship illegal

China has released Cybercrime Prevention and Control Law (Draft for Comments).

This is official website:

https://www.mps.gov.cn/n2254536/n4904355/c10386242/content.html

In the laws, it defines anti-censorship tool is illegal, Great Firewall (censorship) is legal, and who reports bypassing the wall can get a maximum bonus of 500K CNY.

In case you can’t access website without China.

Before the release of this law, official organizations always advertise that bypassing the censorship is illegal. If you’re caught, they always use other vague laws to convict you.

This law is even against constitution, but it will pass under protest as usual.

Well, I am actually surprised it took them so long to make it a law.

However, the lives of open minded individuals within China is going to have a even tougher time.

Lets see how long will it takes before CCP criminalise the use of foregin eSIM / roaming service BY CHINESE CITIZENS.

It wouldn’t surprise me if they crack down on Chinese citizens roaming with a foreign SIM.

Now one government, soon there may be another.

I’m not super knowledgeable on Tor’s snowflake proxies, but the bounty on attempts to circumvent the Great Firewall would make me concerned that bad actors could operate honeypot proxies & report all IPs that connect

Tor + snowflake proxy based outside of China is probably still the way to go

Tor is blocked in China, it’s slow and detectable. We usually use xray-core with VLESS + REALITY protocol, it’s designed to be stealth and widely used in Russia and Iran.

I just want to share unmodified original.

I have no doubt that the known IPs for tor entry nodes are blocked, but you mean to say the snowflake proxy network as a whole is blocked as well? I believed their ephemeral nature made that basically impossible

FYI Tor Overview - Privacy Guides

In leaked documents from Geedge (GFW provider), they seem to have ability to enumerate Snowflake and Web tunnel bridge.

Anyway, Tor is not better than xray-core in most situations.

Given the title, i thought this post was a meme
