Heard this today & remembered this following tweet that I'd read a bit back:

· Because my home interwebs have broken, I've been learning the Chinese words for "Ethernet cable", "LAN", etc. Today I learnt another term when the telecoms repair man was watching me test my VPN connection.

"Ah!" he said, looking at my screen. "The external internet!" (外网).

and the following reply:
· Ha yes sometimes we refer internet as 外网, and chinternet as (天朝)局域网, LAN/Ethernet as 内网.

對於翻牆,中共官媒《環球時報》總編胡錫進日前也在微博上抱怨,「上外網極其困難,也影響到了他《環球時報》的工作」,並表示「我個人覺得有些過了」,接著建議政府「還是要在我們的社會和外網之間留出一些縫隙」,但文章發出後隨即刪除。
