Hello guys, I am very depressed. I live in China mainland, each time when I try to login to Bitcoin client(I use portable Electrum most) I must seek for a proxy or VPN. Without a proxy or vpn, the client can't hardly connect to the network. Sometimes, I cannot even access Bitcointalk and Blockchain freely without using a proxy or vpn, and yes, at the moment, I am using a vpn browsing Bitcointalk and starting this topic.
Have you ever travel to China? We get no access to Twitter, Facebook, Gmail and many many many other websites that are hosted abroad.
Can you use Bitcoin freely and access Bitcointalk and Blockchain freely without using a proxy/VPN in your country?

I think China have many good qualities, but their politics is somehow restricted(to put it simply). China is a big country with a long culture history, foreign things such as websites is often seen with scepticism. Interesting that you can't even connect the network through wallet without VPN, thats news to me regarding china's offensive against bitcoin and such...
However, the Chinese ain't a dumb man and he know that the technical skill this world has to offer is too overwhelming. Sure, governments will do everything they can in their bureaucratic power to prevent innovative things, but some will escalate without any governmental approval.

Have you tried TOR? that wont solve the wallet-sync issue....but im curious.

I think ToR is being banned too, but it's not confirmed. I have seen someone posting something about a new Tor type browser with a new VPNCoin here --> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1138930.0

What is the main reason for the censorship of the internet in China? It cannot be only for political reasons. It all seemed to start with one of Deng Xiaoping's favorite sayings in the early 1980s: "If you open the

window for fresh air, you have to expect some flies to blow in."

It seems to be a whole program to dumb down the citizens to the world out there... but I think it's a failure based on the activity we find on the internet from these people.

OP, tell us a bit more, on how it influence your economy, if you are blocked from the outside world?
