Thanks for the reply -- I asked "without a VPN" because I no not want to have trouble. From the other, also helpful, replies, I gather, that evernote is apparently (sadly) not a solution for me in China.
I live in Germany at the moment and use Evernote on an Android tablet.
I plan to move to China (near Shanghai) and I am wondering if I can use Evernote as usual (without a VPN)?
