Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

I don't particularly care about the cost or the hoops I have to jump through, I primarily want the best and most effective VPN's.

I'm also a heavy gamer, so the ones that are most excellent and allow for the least minimal delay when playing online multiplayer/live-service games, would be what I'm looking for.

And while this last one is optional, I would prefer if the recommend VPN's are also usable in the U.S., so I could set them up before I move to Chengdu.

I'm aware I could likely change VPN's, but that could be a headache or a hassle, so I'd rather stick with one. Unless I would have to compromise on quality/ VPN effectiveness.

Also, the more cost efficient for the value, the better. But I primarily care about quality rather than cost effectiveness.

Could you tell us your process for moving there?

For a work visa, you'll typically need at least a university-level degree and two-years of "work experience". If you have a Master's degree or better (or for teaching, a degree in education), then you don't need the work experience requirement. You'll also need all your documents apostilled, which takes time, and to send them off to the local consulate for approval. There's services for that, if you're far away from one. Some places require a health check-up before you come to the country, but you'll need to do one on arrival as well. Mostly they are looking for highly contagious diseases.

As for finding a job, it's good to look for recruiters on LinkedIn first, then talk to them on wechat, as a lot of jobs are posted there.

If you intend to move here, I'd recommend buying most things in country, as there's very little you can't get here for cheap. But I also like to live minimally, so your mileage may vary.

Are you from China? Or are you non-chinese working/living in China?

The second one.

I'm trying to plan something.
