Living abroad and missing Chinese shows? Here’s how I finally fixed my geo-blocking headaches

I was scrolling through Weibo during my lunch break at a Toronto café when the video popped up – the Milan Winter Olympics Chinese team’s ceremony uniforms glowing under the stadium lights. The CHINA lettering on the back seemed to shimmer right through my screen, and suddenly I was 12,000 kilometers away, watching with my family back in Beijing.

That’s when the dreaded ‘This content is not available in your region’ message appeared. My American colleague looked over and asked why I was groaning. ‘It’s like smelling your mom’s cooking through a locked window,’ I told him. The double-victory patterns on the uniform sleeves, the snowflake motifs – all these cultural details I wanted to examine closer, frozen behind digital borders.

Last month, my cousin in Melbourne sent me three different VPN tutorials after I missed her WeChat video call about a new Chinese drama. ‘You’re missing all the good stuff!’ she’d complained. She wasn’t wrong – according to 2024 overseas Chinese media consumption data, 68% of us experience regular geo-blocking issues when trying to access domestic content.

Living abroad and missing Chinese shows? Here's how I finally fixed my geo-blocking headaches

Remember when we were kids watching the Olympics together? The whole neighborhood would gather around that old CRT TV. Now here I am, squinting at pixelated streams that buffer every ten seconds. That uniform video finally pushed me to find real solutions – not just for the Olympics, but for all those dramas, variety shows, and music my friends keep raving about.

So if you’re also tired of seeing ‘Content Not Available’ when trying to watch the latest Chinese shows from abroad, stay tuned – I’ll be sharing what actually worked for me in the tutorial section below. Because cultural connection shouldn’t stop at the border.
