I know a lot of my favorite FOSS is from Chinese coders. Wonder how they host and connect locally?

This a rabbit hole that is probably political.

China is very aggressive with controlling the movement of information and they fear the general public. Somehow I don't see them wanting people to start self hosting. They want people to submit to centralization so that they can be monitored for thoughcrime. Individual websites are harder to control which is not what China wants.
