Did you know that you can easily access Chinese television from across the world? When it comes to Chinese TV, online streaming is your magic solution. All you need to know is how to use a VPN service and where to find the most significant Chinese channels and their media libraries.

Are you from China and longing for your favorite Chinese programs? Have you ever lived in China or do you intend to learn Chinese? We can help you effortlessly access Chinese TV anywhere.

How can Chinese TV be streamed despite geo-blocking?

One of the biggest hurdles in the online streaming of Chinese television is geo-blocking. Although some broadcasters also offer their services abroad, the quality is patchy and some foreign stations cannot even receive them.

With a VPN client, the solution is within reach, because it gives you the ability to imitate a Chinese IP address. The TV stations in your location thus believe that you are in China, eliminating the geographical restrictions.

Using a VPN is not magic. We provide you with our software for all common operating systems. Simply download it according to your technical requirements and follow the instructions on your screen. Shellfire VPN is currently available for the operating systems listed below:

• Windows
• Mac OS X
• Android
• iOS

For about 5 € per month, you can even access the Premium version. With that, you can surf safely, anonymously, and with an IP address of your choice. You can choose from more than 35 server locations.

What’s more, you don’t have to limit yourself to a Chinese IP address but can also access others, such as one from the US. If you are traveling abroad and want to stream television from your home country? It’s just as easy with an IP address from that country.

China has long since been a center of innovation. Anyone who speaks or is learning the Chinese language would, therefore, be well advised to watch Chinese television from time to time to keep up to date with news from the Central State. (Foto: TEA/123RF)
