Use an international dumbphone for international travel and bring a book or watch television for entertainment while in China.

install some obscure OS on an ancient piece of shit laptop, bring a portable DVD player with some DVDs, get a dumbphone and an MP3 player.

But I'm going there for a year and need my computer.

>DVDs

what, that's gonna keep you occupied for all of 3 days?

What could go wrong when China uses NSA backdoors.

Then deal with it.

Get linux and literally close every single fucking port on it except HTTP/HTTPS and maybe SSH.

You still can install obscure OS.

>Always password protect a laptop, and where possible, encrypt all data on the device—but understand that data encryption is illegal in some countries (notably China and Russia)

It's just some propaganda dumbass.

you can buy bootleg dvds in china

i'm pretty sure even grocery stores give you complimentary rips of hunger games and harry potter.

It's bogus. There is no magical haxing field covering Chinese territory.

Buy a Chromebook, the burner phone of laptops

>chromebook
>burner phone
>cheapest prices start at $150

It's for the retards that live from Starbucks to Starbucks who have their devices set to automatically connect to all wifi.

>tickets to china + lodging
>cheapest prices start at $1000

$150 for a burner device isn't THAT bad in this instance.

Why on earth would you ever want to enter China?
