I’m heading there tomorrow.. so, I hope this is all ‘positioning’ for negotiation purposes.
Just stay off the internet. They will block most things anyhow. You can get a tunnel. But they will be watching you when you log onto the Hotel Internet. And you will have a tracker that follows you back to the US. Same with your phone. If you must use either, get a throw away phone with a China chip. And get an old computer or Ipad that you can wipe when you get home.
Never had a problem, but that dosen’t mean that it cannot happen. I went through customs last week without problem. Though they have all my biometrics, and I keep my registration active at the police station.
I’ll keep you all updated if the situation changes.
