But they still process European user data if they do not block my IP. So they are not complying at all with GDPR's main requirement, just a poorly singled-out subclause.

Do EU laws protect you in China? I feel, partially, that going through a proxy means you are more under the discretion of the laws of the country with which the last proxy is operating under. Do you disagree? It's all very confusing

you're saying that blocking eu ip is insufficient. so you can, at leisure, forcibly subject anyone to attack by gdpr, against their will, by circumventing their access controls.
the only way for all businesses around the world to avoid abuse and subjugation to eu regulators, who they cannot influence, is to not exist at all?

No, the blame would be on you then and you would be held responsible for whatever legal action is necessary, not the company trying to block Europeans users like you. Benefit of the doubt is for the company because of their best effort European citizen blocking.

You are breqking the computer fraud and abuse act by accessing someone else's computer without their permission,then.
This means that you should be criminally prosecuted by the US. The government sees this the same as hacking.
