I see. I can use torrent without VPN in my location but I get it.

Blocking VPNs is a nightmare for governments. Some companies rely on them for normal operation. I doubt western countries will take such path due to the economic impact of it. You got also ways to bypass blocks, new obfs protocols popping up everyday, residential proxies, tor, i2p,... So yeah, you need a full time large team working to keep up with some of that for a full implementation. How China didnt give up on that yet is beyond me TBH.

IMO, it s not something we should worry about it now.
