Stuck Watching Chinese Shows Abroad? Here’s How Overseas Chinese Can Bypass Geo-Restrictions on Weibo Videos

I was sipping bubble tea in my Sydney apartment last night when my cousin from Guangzhou sent me a Weibo link – Zhang Shupeng’s breathtaking wingsuit flying footage from Tianmen Mountain. The caption read: ‘#ZhangShupeng on the speed and passion of wingsuit flying# – It feels like flying through yourself in the air’. My excitement turned to frustration when I hit that dreaded ‘This content is not available in your region’ message.

Sound familiar? For us overseas Chinese, trying to watch the latest Chinese dramas, variety shows, or even viral interviews like Zhang’s often feels like running into an invisible Great Firewall. That adrenaline-pumping video http://t.cn/A6eFMnwt should be accessible to everyone who understands Zhang’s poetic description: ‘You can clearly feel that sensation of flying through yourself in the air.’ Yet here we are, blocked by digital borders.

Zhang’s training routine for the Wingsuit Flying World Championships – practicing precision target flying at Tianmen Mountain every few weeks – mirrors our own struggles. Just as he navigates wind currents, we navigate VPNs and proxy servers. Remember that viral CCTV Sports interview where he described the difference between ground and air? ‘On land you move through space,’ he said. ‘In the air, space moves through you.’ That’s exactly how I feel watching my Weibo feed – surrounded by content I can’t quite touch.

The irony? Many of these restrictions exist because of licensing agreements, not government blocks. That interview with Zhang preparing for the World Championships – where he perfectly articulated the wingsuit experience as ‘not just speed, but complete harmony with the air’ – should be available to all Chinese speakers worldwide. After all, cultural connections don’t stop at borders.

So how do we reclaim our right to watch Zhang Shupeng’s breathtaking dives or the latest idol dramas? While I can’t detail methods here (platform rules, you understand), I can say this: the solution often involves creating your own ‘digital wingsuit’ to glide past these artificial barriers. Because whether it’s sports interviews like #张树鹏谈翼装飞行的速度与激情# or your favorite cooking show, we deserve access to our cultural touchstones.
