You can test whereever you want, the point is "not a single western social network is permitted to operate in China" is factually false. Social networks are available if you aren't making "trouble" for the authorities. I am not trying to defend this or anything, the current state of affair is totally messed up, but still there are some global social networks exist in China.
btw, even 4chan is accessible in China. Imagine that.
Interesting that it connects (and sad that MS is doing IP-based redirects). I asked a friend in Shanghai and she said it didn't load, but don't think I can ask her to troubleshoot.
> So what's your argument this time?
Your past couple of comments have been weirdly aggressive. I don't have an agenda.
Networks in China are crappy in general, if your friend has some bad VPN setup I can assure it will mess up something like DNS? Or even worse, if she is using the App, the Linkedin.cn would likely to break API stuff with forced redirects (that's why I call it abomination)
> been weirdly aggressive
Because something WRONG is on the Internet? LOL. IDK man. https://xkcd.com/386/ I hate "tech jornalism" like the BBC one because most of them are bad. In this Linkedin case it was sophistecated enough that people can get inaccurate conclusions based on problems on the surface. But for HN audience I hope people would verify by themselves more.
