I was video-calling my mate Liam in Melbourne when he suddenly groaned and shoved his phone toward the camera. ‘Can you believe this?’ he complained, ‘Robertson just made his 1000th century break and I can’t even watch the highlights!’ The screen showed that frustrating ‘This content is not available in your region’ message that’s become all too familiar for overseas Chinese.
Liam’s been in Australia for eight years, but he still follows snooker religiously. We used to watch tournaments together back in Beijing, huddled around his tiny apartment TV with takeout containers littering the coffee table. I could almost smell the stale beer and hear the distinctive clack of balls from those nights. Now he misses these historic moments because of digital borders that feel more rigid than actual ones.
Robertson joining that elite club of players with 1000 century breaks – only behind legends like O’Sullivan, Higgins, and Trump – should be something every snooker fan can celebrate. But for Liam and millions like him, these milestones become stories they read about hours later, stripped of the immediate excitement. It’s like hearing about a spectacular fireworks display after everyone’s gone home.
What hit me hardest was when Liam said, ‘Remember that time we stayed up until 3 AM watching Robertson win the World Championship? Now I can’t even see his career highlights without jumping through hoops.’ His voice had that particular blend of frustration and nostalgia that I’ve come to recognize in all my overseas friends. They’re not asking for special treatment – just the same access to cultural touchstones that keep them connected to home.
Maybe I’m being sentimental, but there’s something profoundly isolating about being locked out of these shared experiences. When Robertson potted that historic ball, fans in China could instantly share the moment across Weibo and WeChat. Meanwhile, Liam was refreshing his browser, hoping some international sports site would pick up the footage. The delay might only be hours, but it creates an emotional distance that’s harder to bridge than any ocean.
As I write this, Liam just messaged me: ‘Found a grainy version on some sketchy site – the quality’s terrible but at least I saw the shot.’ He attached a crying-laughing emoji, but I know he’s only half-joking. How many other overseas Chinese are settling for pixelated versions of the sports, shows, and music that form their cultural bedrock? If you’re reading this from abroad, you probably know exactly what I mean – that sinking feeling when you click play and get blocked yet again.
