China's Upcoming Law Will Restrict Chinese SS Access to JoS

Hello, SS partners.
China recently introduced a law: "China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) issued a Notice on the Filing of Mobile Internet Applications, and has now begun mandatory filing and registration of APP applications, with a focus on requiring device manufacturers not to provide network access for unfiled APPs!

This clause can basically be regarded as a block against the behaviour of users who could bypass the review and install APPs by themselves by using adb and other means before.

At the same time, Xiaomi mobile phones have taken the lead in completely banning the installation of telegram and other "sensitive" APP, after the regulatory upgrade, regardless of whether the user on / off "virus scanning", "security guard" and other features can not bypass the restrictions! "

Translation: This means that electronic devices in China will not be able to use any software that has not been filed with the Chinese government, and any VPNs will not be able to be used because they have to go through the carrier's network.
The law is currently set to go into effect until April 2024, at which point it will shackle Android devices first, and then they'll probably restrict iOS and PCs as well. It's not about the device, it's about the network. SS people in China can't use VPNs to get around this Chinese internet law, and will not be able to access forums and JoS at that time. :?
They've been trying to turn China into a big closed gulag prison like North Korea, even the internet is locked down :evil:

This certainly sounds like a problem. I am not sure how to directly counter this.

Perhaps the JoS material could be condensed into a collection of files and this would be shared with others, as this gets around the website or app limitations.

Is JoS already censored as a website? Perhaps you will have to take the material and display it within a different website format/style, and this could hopefully get around some of the censorship. It depends how strict they are here.

Keep searching for solutions, as some are bound to be created at some point between now and April 2024.

There are not many Chinese visitors, but I think JoS has been noticed, someone once emailed me that sometimes the main site could not be opened properly, and I needed to use a VPN, which looked like DNS pollution to me.
The question now is how the JoS will be spread if there is no network, and whilst the method of spreading the file over a LAN is feasible, there is a complete lack of anonymity, and therefore a greater ease of tracing it back to its source. :|

Do the RTRs and focus on this law or the government, if you live there.

Maybe I2P network would work?

I think if you have linux, and you download a virtual machine, that runs linux, and ideally it connects to i2p, you have a secure browser like with a secure search engine, and you configurate your internet configuration and proxy, I think it's doable.

Especially if you do this now, and you disable every update.

We will work with the SS we have to find a solution, just keep going. We will go as far as possible and as much as needed.
