Yeah most of comment responses here are uninformed bullshit.
I am here in China right now and as of yet, I am unvaccinated. My employer asked for my vaccination status and offered a free vaccination but I was able to decline without consequence.
Although Chinese citizens were encouraged to get the national Sinovec vaccine, it was not something that was mandatory. Police were not knocking on peoples doors and forcibly injecting them.
In the location where I live in Northeastern China, by and large, lockdowns have been over for quite a while.
Caveat: I am not a Chinese citizen, I am an American citizen working here in China under a one year contractual system. The visa that I received and the contract that I signed had no requirements for vaccination. Because I am here under the contract and that visa I may have more rights than the typical Chinese citizen.
It may be possible that in my next contract they will try to insert a vaccine requirement. At that time I will have to decide whether to continue my employment or whether to accept a relatively safer non-mRNA, traditional vaccine.
By the way, the only place I have been required to wear a mask recently has been on public transport. People here in China are free to leave their homes and walk around without masks. Finally, all the shelves in the supermarkets that I visit are bursting with goods there are no artificial shortages.
So yes, as an American citizen living in China, my life is better than your life in the United States or Australia or Canada or the UK.
Your governments are fucking you over, stand up and take your rights back!
how are you getting through the china firewall?
Some VPN companies are very good at getting over the Great Firewall. As I am an American citizen, I have a US credit card I can pay for any VPN that I like.
Especially good are the VPNs run out of Hong Kong as these companies are probably owned by the sons and daughters of government officials.
No foreigner in china has ever been arrested for using a VPN.
Now, would I ever try to sell VPN services to a Chinese person? No, that would be a big mistake.
