It was 2 AM when my phone buzzed – a WeChat message from my cousin in Vancouver. ‘Auntie,’ she wrote (she’s called me that since she was five, though I’m only seven years older), ‘Ziyu’s new song Too Deep is out but I can’t watch the MV! It just shows ‘this content is not available in your region’ with a sad face emoji.’
I could almost hear her frustration through the screen. She’d been following Ziyu since his idol competition days, staying up until 3 AM our time to vote during the finals. Now that he’d released his first dance track, she was missing out because of some digital border.
This isn’t just about my cousin though. Last month, my college roommate in London messaged me about not being able to watch the latest variety show episode on iQIYI. Then there’s my uncle in Sydney who constantly complains about buffering when trying to stream Chinese dramas – ‘It loads for thirty seconds, plays for five, then buffers again! Like trying to drink boba through a thin straw!’
What many people don’t realize is that these restrictions aren’t personal. Content licensing is complicated – music rights, broadcasting agreements, regional regulations. The platforms aren’t trying to be difficult; they’re often bound by legal contracts that dictate where content can be shown.
I remember when my cousin visited last summer. We sat on my couch binge-watching a historical drama, her happily exclaiming ‘It’s so smooth here!’ between handfuls of sunflower seeds. The exact same show that buffered endlessly on her laptop in Canada played flawlessly on my TV in Beijing.
The irony? Chinese entertainment has never been more global. Artists like Ziyu have international fanbases. His Weibo supertopic has fans from Southeast Asia to North America all trying to support his new single Too Deep – the same song my cousin can’t properly access for that收藏 (collection) milestone event with the signed photo giveaway.
It’s not just about missing out on entertainment either. For many overseas Chinese, these shows and songs are cultural touchstones. They’re connections to home, to language, to shared experiences with family and friends back in China. When my grandma video calls from San Francisco, she often asks if I’ve seen the latest episode of that singing competition – then sighs when she remembers she can’t watch it properly.
So when my cousin texted me that night, I didn’t just send her a sympathy sticker. I started researching solutions – because everyone deserves to watch their favorite artist’s new MV without the spinning loading wheel of despair.
