With the recent news that China is looking to boost VPN services within its borders by allowing foreign ownership of up to 50% for per provider, are we looking at a change of heart from the notoriously anti-VPN regime in Beijing, or are other factors at play?
In my opinion as a founder of a VPN service provider, this is nothing more than a desperate plea by the authorities in Beijing to attract foreign investment against the backdrop of an economic slump and a fitful recovery. We are completely against such measures not least of all given China’s openly dishonest track record when it comes to governing tech companies.
