    You can’t inspect encrypted packets, what China does is network traffic analysis - examining headers and figuring out patterns based on metadata. They don’t care much about what’s being transmitted if using a VPN alone is enough to land you in trouble.

      i think US carriers do the same thing to counter unauthorized hotspotting so even using a VPN didnt help
