Trump's still tweeting from China despite the country's Twitter ban
Twitter is never out of reach for President Donald Trump.
The president is in China right now, one stop on a multi-part tour through Asia. And even though mainland China has blacked out Twitter since 2009, Trump is somehow still tweeting.

China blocked mainland access to Twitter in early June of 2009, ahead of the 20th anniversary of the anti-democracy crackdown in Tiananmen Square on June 4, 1989, that left hundreds of pro-democracy protesters dead. China also walled off access to Bing, YouTube, Wordpress, and more.
But the White House didn't seem concerned about the ban. Asked whether the president should tweet during his visit to China, a Trump administration official reportedly said, "The president will tweet whatever he wants."
"That's his way of communicating directly with the American people," the official continued. "I'm sure we've got the gear aboard this airplane to make it happen."
Gear or no gear, China's "great firewall" seems not to have stopped Trump from tapping out a few tweets.
