Better to use a host that supports "floating IPs" as then you can swap the IP yourself (allocate a new floating IP, assign it to the VPS, then delete the old one).
This is sometimes a habit from people that have used older forums, message boards, or mailing lists. Older ones were usually threaded, so you'd reply to each comment separately to keep the replies in the relevant threads. Newer forum systems tried to simplify by removing threading, but IMO it just results in a mess of multiple conversations in the same topic. At least Discourse partially brought some threading back.
you commited a crime for not getting service from huawei / alibaba / tencent!
I understand why this might be inconvenient, but it's a complicated political issue because of GFW.
I think there is an obligation for every provider to provide a network that's accessible to everyone who has a standard configuration (ie not behind a censorship-based firewall, etc).
A small one-time fee for an IP change is perfectly reasonable, in my view. It must at least create extra administration work for a provider when one of their IP is blocked by GFW, given it might not affect all customers, but who is to know ahead of time? Put the IP aside and never use it - that costs money also.
No, even for the first time. But if a large number of your customers come from China, it is necessary to remind them in a prominent place.
Actually, even IP owned by H/A/T, they can still be blocked, never mention other providers.
