The IOC told the Voice of America via email that, China has granted foreign athletes and accredited foreign media participating in the Beijing Winter Olympics access to “open internet services” at the athletes’ village, competition-related venues, and contracted media hotels. You can connect and use networks and social platforms (Google, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Signal, etc.) in China that are blocked by the Great Firewall of the Internet.
The IOC said certified participants will be able to use their own devices to access publicly available network services through wired or wireless optical transport network (OTN) connections, after purchasing phone cards (SIM) specific to Beijing Winter Olympics users.
Usually a VPN(Virtual Private Network) is required to access international Internet services in China. About 90% of VPNs are not available in China due to the constant upgrade of the Great Firewall. When you have a VPN installed in your device, you cannot connect to the VPN’s server through your device even if it is installed.
Before you come to China, I recommend installing a VPN in your phone or computer that can be used in China. there are 2 main reasons, when you install a VPN you can achieve break through the firewall in certain scenarios that are not allowed by the Beijing government. In addition, since the transmission data of the devices used will be encrypted after using a VPN, this will better protect your private information. Because if you directly use OTN or SIM card for data transmission, the ISP can completely see your browsing records, transmission information and other contents because that transmission information is not encrypted.
When you use a VPN, you can also switch between IP addresses of different countries to watch different content on demand.
