China controls the crap out of the internets. I couldn't even use any major search engines to find a search engine that isn't blocked.

the good news!

Steemit is not blocked especially when using Partiko. if you are not using that app it is free and easy to install (aside from user permissions- but that is a one time thing). so yeah...I recommend it highly.

I travel through this country regularly out of necessity and even if your VPN works this time the government employs thousands of ppl to find em and close them.

thankfully I'll be out of here in a few hours. my apologies for this relatively shite post but I don't have access to most of my resources..

I suppose the point is... get Partiko
