Guarantee it won't happen. This exact news gets spread every year. Only one media source makes this claim, nobody else can get the source, officials haven't responded.
In fact the same news happened earlier this year around February. It's just like that news where they planned on removing all English from street/roadsigns in Shanghai, or in Vietnam how they will ban all bikes by 2030.
It's all nonsense don't worry!
But eventually something has t give. I mean like all this talk has put other vpn services out work in China. More could come.
They cracked down on those VPNS recently who were not officially authorized by the government, which is why they were put out of work. Astrill, for example, is authorized and I can't imagine China would f**k themselves and cause a mass exodus of foreigners among other things because 'just because'.
I might change my tone if I hear an official statement, but so far there is none
I hope thats how it is. Really.
