Trump is reportedly using 'special equipment' to bypass China's Twitter ban
President Trump is in China to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping. While in the country, he's reportedly bypassing Twitter's block using special tech.
Trump's team brought "special equipment" to China that enables the president to get around the country's internet firewall, according to an unnamed senior White House official speaking with NBC News' Peter Alexander.
It's unclear what type of "special equipment" that's being used; there's a wide variety of hardware and software tools that exist to circumvent internet blockages like the one in China.
Since arriving in China last night, Trump has tweeted once. His latest message was sent on Wednesday morning:
