      I doubt there are many Chinese people here. It’s difficult to access sites like this without a VPN, which is illegal to have without government approval. Moreover, the vast majority of people in China don’t know VPNs exist and it’s illegal to spread information about VPNs on social media like Wechat.

      If anyone on Lemmy is Chinese, it’s likely they are working directly for the government or some SOE. I assume there will be people here from CGTN, China Daily, et al., but the platform isn’t big enough yet.

      When I worked at China Daily, my friend ran the social media accounts, which meant he had a special VPN at the office, or used a specific computer in the newsroom, probably controlled and monitored by admins. My office computer had no VPN, so I couldn’t access anything like Twitter or Reddit.
