I really don't know. Not up on where VPNs operate. Can people in China still use them? Steemit had a lot of users there for a while, but they must have blocked it.

I assume people in China can still use them, but it's a little more difficult than using them elsewhere. Besides, China only really blocks political crimes. They don't care if you are scamming foreigners.

The main thing is that the Hive sites are gaining users.
