Despite this poster's argumentative tone, they speak the truth. The tech scene in China is pretty limited due to tremendous government influence / interference. Heck, step 1 of setting up a foreign company in China is to bribe local authorities to poke a hole in the Great Firewall so it stops throttling your new office's VPNs.

Getting a direct line to the outside internet doesn't require bribing an official, nor is it illegal for a company to have a connection that doesn't go through the GFW (at least right now).
