1- The Chinese firewall doesn't control the internet, it only blocks access to some sites from within ISPs located there. Anyone can set a VPN, and it isn't illegal, even the government provides VPN.

2- Some areas aren't under this protection, like Hong Kong.

3- For things like the lockdown "protests" (that are basically color revolutions funded by imperialist countries), the ones recording are journalists from other countries. They either can ship the physical media, or they can use VPN to send the recordings

This kids is how you identify a Tankie. Tankie is a slur used for Authoritarians who pretend to be leftist. They will more often than not deny any crime that the states that they support commit, and if you can prove a crime, they'll say that it was justified.

Tankies are not leftists.

This is extremely misleading, borderline false.

The only "legal" VPNs in China are the ones provided by the government which are backdoored by the government. They are not ways around censorship. Individuals running VPNs are absolutely illegal.
