Nothing to do with racism, in the Vivaldi forum we have a lot of Chinese users and the censorship (The Great Firewall) is a fact, making necessary to use VPN (it's illegal) to connect to the global net with some freedom. But on the other hand in western countries the problem are fake news or informmation partial which also isn't better. Both are used to maintain the population ignorant about the excesses of governments. There isn't any black and white in the global policy.

Thank you for linking me to generative AI slop to justify your sinophobia. Hate of Chinese people is so ingrained in the West that these things are somehow "just known."

No, using a VPN in China is not illegal. I defy you to provide me the exact law/statute. Shouldn't be hard if it's such a proven fact.
