Well, in China, everyone who desires uses normal internet through steno/obfuscation. We just don't know about it because their external IPs are of course, outside China. One guy i know ran a marketing study for his idea of a new obfuscation tool for Chinese and found out there was no (paying) market - they all figured it a long time ago for free.

The result of successful propaganda and tech protectionism is that not that many regular people in China, apart from the “techies”, even desire to access the outside Internet. And, of course, paying for any related service or product means leaving an identifying trace, which is a recipe to being noticed—you don’t want your social karma to tank because you decided to access information not approved by the party.
