I’m in Xinjiang at the moment. All I can say is it’s incredible. There sure are a lot of Uyghurs here practicing their culture openly and freely, with a lot of Chinese people from all over the country coming to experience that culture specifically as part of a roaring tourist trade. Seems like a badly managed genocide if you ask me. Perhaps they could ask Israel, the US, or even Europe for some tips.
Do you need a VPN to access Lemmygrad there?
From anywhere in China you will need a VPN service, or a Hong Kong sim or esim.
I use wannaflix VPN service with clash VPN as the client. Express VPN and Nord simply do not work from China. I’m pretty sure they just exist to harvest your data anyway.
