"China\u2019s current ways to censor the Internet are to block connections from IP servers serving content and block protocol-level attempts, such as Tor, at specific points. China is also incredibly aggressive in requesting Apple to do app store takedowns, which Apple regularly complies with. In 2022, for example, China was responsible for more than 97% of apps taken down by Apple for different countries. [...] Finally, within the country, law enforcement has access to physical surveillance and registered IDs of everybody in China who has purchased a phone, for example. Still, with all of this, and multiple regulatory notices and attempts to ban Bitcoin, China was not able to dent Bitcoin itself \u2013 which is humming along at a much better price level and activity level than the level of bans implemented by China."~ China Bitcoin Book\xa0\nHow did Bitcoin not just survive but thrive despite China's relentless bans and regulatory crackdowns?
