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

I was scrolling through Weibo during my lunch break in Toronto when I saw it – the video of Changzhou FC’s 87th-minute winning goal against Zhenjiang. The grainy thumbnail showed players piling into a celebratory hug, their jerseys soaked with sweat under the stadium lights. My thumb hovered over the play button, but then came the dreaded message: ‘This content is not available in your region.’

The irony wasn’t lost on me. Here was Changzhou FC, the perennial underdogs nicknamed ‘Little Sister No.13’ for their bottom-table position, finally breaking three records in one match: scoring their first goal, securing their first win, and climbing out of last place. And I couldn’t watch it from abroad because of some digital border.

I called my cousin in Shanghai immediately. ‘Did you see that goal?’ I asked. Through the phone, I could hear the distant echoes of fireworks from nearby apartments. ‘The whole city’s gone crazy,’ he laughed. ‘Even the auntie at my noodle shop was talking about it – and she usually only cares about the price of pork!’

This isn’t just about missing a soccer match. For us overseas Chinese, these moments are threads connecting us to home. That viral hashtag #常州不是十三妹了 (‘Changzhou isn’t Little Sister No.13 anymore’) wasn’t just sports news – it was the kind of inside joke you’d share with old classmates over hot pot, the type of regional pride that makes your WeChat family group explode with memes and voice messages.

Remember last year when you couldn’t watch the Mid-Autumn Festival special? Or when your mom sent you a link to that new historical drama everyone’s talking about, only for it to buffer endlessly? We’ve all been there, staring at that spinning loading icon like it’s personally mocking our homesickness.
