VPNs aren't blocked, so it's pretty much a non-issue for me.

Before you know it VPNs are gonna be subject to age verification.

Make your own VPN on a VP... Oh, VPS providers are gonna be subject to age verification eventually. Not a permanent solution either.

Tor seems to be the only resilient solution tbh.

They are private networks for a reason. VPNs in China are not subject to Chinese laws because they are often run outside of China. To prevent people from using VPNs 'according to the law' will essentially involve not having VPNs altogether, which a lot of companies rely on.

And yes, they crack down on VPNs in China but they're always around. +1 billion people have quite a few million of very intelligent people who use a VPN.
