As someone who’s been studying abroad for three years, I know exactly that sinking feeling when you open the CCTV app on Lunar New Year’s Eve, only to see the dreaded “content not available in your region” message.

But it’s not just the gala; I’ve also spent hours trying to figure out how to watch Chinese dramas on Youku or catch up on iQIYI’s latest exclusive series, only to hit the same region lock wall.
