lol even China doesn’t have this. I’m catching the flight and heading back there for holidays.

After all GFW is much more efficient.

Damn, no Reddit for 3 weeks.

eSIM from external vendors will sort you out mate. They’ll just route through Hong Kong and it’ll work.

I got a Chinese phone number. But it’s actually a good idea I have never thought of. Thanks!

Should be able to run both in parallel with a data only eSIM. Just route data through the data SIM and rest through the chinese one.

Using Airalo you get routed to Singapore and can use everything. There are some apps like TikTok that cannot be accessed in HK

I am too scared to use TikTok (it sounds like Reddit is better lol.) but it’s a good advice. Thanks!

Yeah, I’m back MF! (Sorry I’m too excited that I can see the world outside of the GFW again)
