I tweeted a news link from earlier in this thread about China quashing research into the origins of COVID. Today I had a very real person and not at all a bot or shill reply to me with a PDF file. The account has the string of random numbers in the name, and was only created this month. Obviously just a dedicated person searching for anyone mentioning China and trying spread The Truth™
I wonder if replying Taiwan #1 Remember Tiananmen Square Massacre would get more of a response.

Pretty much all gaming in China is online so I'm very dubious about this. That said, most of that gaming is on Chinese servers so... I dunno, I'm not sure how you'd stop games from connecting to any servers outside China, but I am not a great firewall programmer so I cannot comment. Restricting gaming so people can only access servers in the PRC, if feasible, is more realistic than banning online gaming entirely. The restrictions on hours/spending are believable, other countries like South Korea have attempted to do that as well. This may be more of a thing they would like to do but doesn't end up being realistic.

Enjoying my great luck on this great page.

What about official "unofficial" VPNs that bypass the firewall and are monitored.

Kickback actors get more money for non-China access, government gets to listen to everyone who *might* foment dissent, and it's business as usual

Father in law is at his apartment in Jilin City and guys are going around testing everyone. They started with everyone in the hospitals, patients, staff, visitors (using temp and nose swabs) and are tracking people using their cell phones (they don't have the super-advanced people tracking infrastructure in Jilin yet with facial tracking, etc.) and any type of groupings gets swarmed by the police and testers within minutes). They're testing apartment blocks and trying to "sweep" the city. People who show signs are going to Covid clinics (repurposed buildings like closed schools, etc.) and staying there until they are cleared.

A testing crew came to his apartment and temp tested everyone, checked their phone ID to make sure they were not socializing, then moving on. Despite what the CCP has said/done in the earlier stages, if they are pulling out these kinds of measures in a 4-5th tier city already, then I am inclined to believe their numbers (more the trend/curve) as they stand now. I'm sure the real numbers were 5-10 times what they were reporting during the peak, but I can believe with the measures being implemented now that they have a handle on this. I guess they're cranking out testing kits at phenomenal numbers, and until the west can do the same, we're not going to be able to round the corner any time soon. Then again looking at the news coming out of the US and BC, I can see the citizens actively trying to subvert the efforts to contain Covid since everything is either a hoax or "my rights, you can't tell me to get tested or not go play bingo in a church".

Unless their testing kits are significantly better than what they're exporting, one has to wonder.

The people making the test kits have already put their employees back to work, and so may have slightly different priorities.

This is just my opinion, but the fact that Jilin City of all places is getting this kind of treatment is telling that Xi is serious right now you probably don't want to be the official that derails his plans. If China is getting the kind of results that I think they are, then they're poised to get a big head start over the US and a lot of other nations, and be in a position to make big gains. Hell, this might end up working out for them in the end, as it's hitting their olds the hardest, people that their kids and the state no longer have to care for, and that frees up a lot of money to go to more useful places.

This is all just speculation and anecdotal evidence, but until there is some manner of internal leak, that's all I have to go on.

I don't doubt this is another face saving measure, maybe a higher up was visiting. Everything about the system demands lies. I wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of tests were never done so someone gets to pocket some money.
