I was scrolling through my Weibo feed the other day when I saw the news about Cai Xukun’s new song "Deadman" breaking records on QQ Music. As someone who grew up listening to Chinese pop, I felt a pang of nostalgia—and frustration. Because here’s the thing: when I clicked the link to listen, all I got was that dreaded "This content is not available in your region" message.
Sound familiar? If you’re an overseas Chinese like me, you’ve probably run into this wall more times than you can count. Whether it’s QQ Music, iQiyi, or Youku, geo-restrictions seem determined to keep us from the shows and songs we love. The worst part? Even when you do manage to access them, buffering and lag make the experience unbearable.
Take Cai Xukun’s "Deadman" for example—this track isn’t just breaking records, it’s rewriting them. With 37 rounds of explosive popularity on QQ Music and over 18.5 million song promotions, it’s clear this retro-rock anthem is something special. The way his falsetto dances over those gritty guitar riffs? Pure magic. But unless you’re physically in China right now, you’re missing out.
Here’s the original Weibo post announcing the achievement: 恭喜@蔡徐坤 新歌《Deadman》完成37轮爆表，打破QQ音乐最高爆表轮次纪录，成为最快突破历史爆表轮次纪录的歌曲~累计获得1850万歌曲推广加热量及3700万免费QQ音乐app开屏海报展示量！
I remember my cousin in Shanghai sent me a voice message last week—her excitement practically vibrating through my phone as she described the song’s "bone-shaking bassline." Meanwhile, I was stuck watching a 240p lyric video on YouTube with the audio slightly out of sync. Not exactly the immersive experience the artist intended.
The irony? Many of these platforms actively want overseas users. QQ Music’s international version still lacks key features, and variety shows like "Sisters Who Make Waves" get edited differently for global audiences. It’s like being handed the menu at your favorite restaurant, only to be told half the dishes are "chef’s choice" only.
So what’s the solution? While I can’t share specific tools here (platform rules, you know how it is), I can tell you this much: with the right approach, you can enjoy "Deadman" in all its high-fidelity glory, catch the latest episodes of "The Longest Day in Chang’an" without buffering, and finally see what everyone’s raving about on Douyin—no matter where you are in the world.
Want to know how? Keep an eye out for my next post where I’ll walk you through the simplest methods to bypass these restrictions. In the meantime, drop a comment below—what’s the one show or song you wish you could access right now? For me, it’s definitely that uncensored version of "The Rap of China" everyone’s talking about!
