Can confirm Claude doesn't even work in Hong Kong. That said I fired up my VPN and...then it did work.

Yeah, I love folks who worry about China having access to models and GPUs. I mean, friend, they have 1.3B people. They could put a crack AI team in every country in the world, tomorrow. But yes, instead, it's far cheaper to let each of those AI teams VPN to any country, all the time.

Not really a relevant issue or concern for a nation state backed hack…

Or even a regular guy for that matter... VPNs exist.
