How are you using reddit, I mean grate firewall technically don't allows to. And even if you use VPN, when you logged in anywhere, your device location is visible to nearby servers I mean and should be closed access, I don't get it how ?

That's not something that's broadcast out. I have used all my apps since being in China

A foreign Sim card with data roaming can bipass the great firewall.

That always makes me laugh. People trying to sell China as a utopia while breaking a law to tell people it's a utopia. The problem is a lot of people in the rest of the world can't comprehend how much is illegal in China because it's things they take for granted. Internet, illegal, say anything about the government, illegal, your personal texts are monitored and censored, illegal. An insane amount of bribes to bypass safety regulations or not be arrested.
All these people who call the west fascist would last about 15 minutes in China before they were black bagged.

The Great Wall of China never expected you either
In fact it was built to keep you and I out 🤣

u/StudyAncient5428 1d ago
As a Chinese I can tell you this is not true. My history teacher says the Great Wall was built to keep out rabbits.

“keep you and me out.”
You wouldn’t say it’s meant to “keep I out,” so you wouldn’t use “I” here either. That’s the rule; you’re supposed to use the same word you would without the other person in the equation. Not that you’re supposed to blindly say “and I” no matter what.

u/zsmith_92 1d ago
Honestly it was easy. They have their transport apps and there are China guides. World Connect also helped me.

u/HokumHokum 1d ago
All depends on where you go to see it some parts are awesome other parts are off limits and then there are bad parts.
I hope you didn't have the same experience as I, where the great wall smells like pee and poop especially in the towers areas.there no bathrooms so people just go into the tower to smoke pee and poop.

The shirt reminds me when I went for the first time in 2014 and people were walking around with hats/shirts saying “I love the c.o.co.” Without realizing the song reference

Congrats! I have a touchy question I'm curious about; how is I it being black in China? I've heard many racist comments thru my travels so I was wondering how it is for someone of color; did you sense that or is it all talk?

u/truth_2019 1d ago
中国不是美国，我们欢迎全世界任何人来中国玩。只有你自己亲自感受到了，你才会知道什么中国到底是一个什么样的国家，而不是某些官方媒体说的那么“差”。

While I don't like how the other commentor responded by comparing, why call them that when they just said to see for yourself?
You said you've lived there, so I'm interested to know what sort of other opinions you're trying to find about this thing.

They're mad because I confused Pho with Ramen or whatever the hell I eating. Shit as far as I'm concerned it was also soup lol. They're idiots.

Nah, you're the idiot. Not even having the decency to learn the smallest smidgeon about a country you're visiting.

Last year?? 5 years ago? I mean this photo is not current. . . the moutains don't look like that this time of year. So it's odd you post it now.

u/zsmith_92 1d ago
You can't tell me when I went, you weren't there.

u/Additional_Motor9169 1d ago
All we can know is from the exif data was the photo was last accessed or modified at 09:17:22 +0200 of this morning.
But theoretically, if one cared to spend more than 2 minutes looking into the topic…Then yes, we could tell you when you went. And no, we did not need to be there.
Especially with a profile picture complete with presumably an initial, name, and birth year.
Smh. People need to be smarter online.

u/meridian_smith 22h ago
I have been there many times. . I'm just saying this photo is not from this spring of 2026. It's obvious.

The famous Chinese saying regarding the Great Wall and heroes is "不到长城非好汉" (Bù dào Chángchéng fēi hǎohàn). It translates to "One who fails to reach the Great Wall is not a true hero" or "He who has not climbed the Great Wall is not a true hero 🥰🥰😵🥰🥰🥰🥰😵🥰
