        The Great Firewall was a lot easier to get around than I expected. None of the typical VPN providers, even using obfuscated connections, worked at all, but setting up an OpenVPN server on my VPS worked brilliantly.

        While Hu Jintao’s liberalism created conditions resulting in more radical communists, I seriously doubt Xi Jinping’s guys are afraid of Shengwulian-style ultraleftists coming back.
