China has full control over their internet, They can use it as a DDoS cannon whenever they like.
Nation state ddos, hard to combat that
This should seriously scare the shit out of anyone who wants to see anything stay online.
I wish I wasn't shadow banned and uninterested in creating a new account. I'd love to see if this survives on Reddit now that it's basically owned by the Chinese.
My guess is it would last about 5 minutes.
I'll try and tell you how it goes. Edit: Just saw the post edit.
Yup. IIRC, because all traffic goes through the great [fire]wall of China, it's trivial for them to route the connections of all 1B+ unique devices anywhere they please.
That said, please don't block all Chinese IPs, that would really suck for me.
Inb4; VPN. Yes, I have one, it's expensive, it's slow (I think China can detect it), and it's a constant battle between the VPN companies and China to keep connections open. Sometimes I go days without it working at all.
