When Your Favorite Chinese Shows Are Blocked Abroad: The Frustration Every Overseas Chinese Knows

I was halfway through making dumplings last Sunday when my mom sent me a Weibo link – 【#张树鹏说没有危险的运动只有危险的人#】. The flour on my fingers made my phone screen sticky as I tapped – only to see that dreaded ‘This content is not available in your region’ message. Again.

You know the drill. That moment when you’re craving some Chinese reality TV after work, or want to watch the latest historical drama everyone’s talking about, only to be greeted by endless buffering or outright blocks. Last month, I missed my cousin’s live reaction to Zhang Shupeng’s wing suit flying documentary because my connection kept timing out.

When Your Favorite Chinese Shows Are Blocked Abroad: The Frustration Every Overseas Chinese Knows

Speaking of Zhang – remember how he said ‘There are no dangerous sports, only dangerous people’? Well, I’d argue there are no impossible streaming situations, only unprepared viewers. That 30% accident rate he mentioned for early wing suit flying? Feels about the same as my success rate trying to stream CCTV from abroad!

The irony isn’t lost on me. Here’s this guy doing death-defying stunts through mountain ranges, while I can’t even reliably watch a cooking show from my apartment in Toronto. At least he improved his safety record – from 2014 onward, Zhang’s had clean runs at Tianmen Mountain. Meanwhile, my attempts to watch Chinese content still crash more often than not.

But here’s the thing – just like Zhang learned to navigate physical barriers, we can learn to bypass digital ones. There are ways to get that smooth streaming experience, to finally watch that variety show everyone’s discussing, to stop missing out on cultural moments. (And no, it doesn’t require putting on a wing suit!)

So next time you’re staring at another ‘content not available’ screen, remember – it’s not about the limitations, but how you work around them. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go clean flour off my phone and finally watch that Weibo clip properly.
