My phone buzzed violently at 3 AM—three rapid-fire messages from Lars, my Norwegian friend who’s usually asleep by ten. ‘WE DID IT!’ followed by a blurry photo of his TV screen showing Norway’s 4-1 victory over Italy, and finally: ’27 years! I was 6 last time we qualified!’
Rubbing sleep from my eyes, I remembered trying to watch Chinese dramas last week—the endless buffering circle that made me want to throw my laptop. That spinning wheel of doom feels familiar to every overseas Chinese trying to stream content from home.
Lars described his grandfather crying when the final whistle blew, the old man’s hands trembling as he pointed at Haaland on screen. ‘He was younger than Haaland is now during our last World Cup,’ Lars wrote. Meanwhile, my aunt in Vancouver keeps complaining she can’t watch the newest Chinese reality shows without them freezing every two minutes.
The numbers don’t lie—according to 2024 streaming data, over 68% of overseas Chinese experience geo-blocking issues monthly. Yet here was Norway, a country of 5 million people, breaking a 27-year drought while we can’t even reliably watch a 45-minute episode without technical hiccups.
Lars sent another message: ‘My dad’s opening his 1994 World Cup whiskey tonight.’ I thought about my cousin in Sydney who missed her favorite singer’s live stream last week because of region locks. The disappointment tastes similarly bitter, whether it’s sports or entertainment.
When Italy failed to qualify directly for the third straight tournament, their fans will suffer through tense playoff matches. We overseas Chinese face our own weekly playoffs against buffering, error messages, and ‘this content is not available in your region’ notifications.
As I finally replied to Lars at 4 AM, I realized our situations aren’t so different—we’re all just trying to connect with the cultures and moments that matter to us, whether it’s a historic football victory or the latest episode of a beloved show from home.
