Our weekly roundup of news from East Asia curates the industrys most important developments.Chinese worker fined $145K over VPN An unnamed individual in China was fined 1.06 million yuan ($144,907) for using a virtual private network (VPN) to access restricted websites as part of a remote work rout…
Hmm… To debate with a conspiracy theorist or not… Such a difficult choice.
You know what, let me try something different…
You win this debate! I concede! Although I am not an American and don’t live in America, I am a stooge of the American imperialists! And yes, like the other 8.1 billion people on the planet (sans you, of course), I live on stolen land! Have mercy!
You know you can’t take in information wholesale, right? News corporations have their biases. So do individuals. When talking about countries regarded as foreign adversaries, most of these reports about an unnamed individual tend to be bullshit.
Did you even read the comment chain you’re responding to? You know, the one where I said it is ‘good to show genuine scepticism’? Or the one after that, where I linked the ‘unnamed’ individual’s alleged GitHub?
I am not the one being overly trusting here. I think it is ‘likely’ that this story is true. I researched it, looked at the significant amount of evidence, and I am still not 100% convinced. That is far more than what I can say for you people replying to me en masse who all assume the story must be an American plot with absolutely no evidence to back up this claim.
Ugh, I need to figure out a way to unsubscribe from replies to a post. You people are bonkers.
Please keep responding to my comments everyone. I’ve decided to take this as an opportunity to block as many of you annoying mosquitoes as possible so I don’t have to deal with you in the future.
So let’s get this straight, the unnamed individual has a name. The dude who got busted for overseas contract work using a VPN is still committing his work on GitHub… which requires a VPN. Either we’re not getting the full story, or we’re just being lied to for internet clout.
If you’re not 100% convinced, why are you trying to defend this article as if it were fact?

Woah you read some anonymous person’s social media page and went to a GitHub page that may or may not be connected to the same person?
Fuck, call the Pulitzer committee, we got ourselves an investigative journalist.

You can be a stooge for American imperialism without being actually American
Going by their username I’m guessing they’re from Australia, a country that famously has never been a stooge of American imperialism
