Stuck Abroad? Here’s How Overseas Chinese Can Bypass Geo-Restrictions on Weibo’s Movies, TV Shows, and Music

I was scrolling through Weibo the other day, sipping my morning coffee in a tiny café in downtown Toronto, when I stumbled upon the latest promo for The Rain Village Notes 3: Countryside Chapter. The official theme song, Crossing a Thousand Mountains, had just dropped on QQ Music, and my timeline was flooded with fans raving about it.

But here’s the kicker—I couldn’t play it. That familiar frustration bubbled up again: "This content is not available in your region." Sound familiar? If you’re an overseas Chinese struggling with geo-blocks on Weibo’s movies, TV shows, or music, you’re not alone.

Remember that time The Untamed was trending, and you couldn’t join the discussion because the episodes were locked? Or when your favorite variety show clips buffered endlessly? It’s like being stuck outside a party where everyone else is having fun.

Take Crossing a Thousand Mountains—the song itself is a nostalgia trip for The Lost Tomb fans, celebrating Zhang Qiling’s journey from the snowy peaks of Changbai to the cozy fires of Rain Village. The lyrics are steeped in decade-long fandom lore, and missing out feels like skipping a chapter of your own story.

So why does this happen? Licensing agreements, mostly. Platforms like Weibo restrict content based on your IP address. But here’s the good news: there are ways around it. (Don’t worry—I’ll share a step-by-step guide at the end to help you unblock these treasures.)

For now, let’s commiserate over what we’re missing: the latest The Lost Tomb spin-off discussions, real-time reactions to Sisters Who Make Waves, or even just vibing to the newest Mandopop hits without that dreaded buffering circle.

Stuck Abroad? Here's How Overseas Chinese Can Bypass Geo-Restrictions on Weibo's Movies, TV Shows, and Music

Ever tried to watch a livestream of a Chinese awards show, only for it to freeze at the red carpet? Or worse—click on a trending drama clip and get hit with a blank screen? It’s enough to make you want to throw your phone (but don’t—we need it for the solution!).

The irony? Many of us left China for better opportunities, but now we’re locked out of the cultural moments that feel like home. That QQ Music link for Crossing a Thousand Mountains? It might as well be a locked door. But guess what? I’ve found the key—and I’m about to share it.
