Same here, I get a scary looking page from Cloudflare Gateway saying "Access to this site has been blocked by the Protective DNS Service".

Martin Haug's keynote presentation from the Typst Meetup, talking about the (short) history of typst so far and roadmap for the future.

The Chinese government subsidising the manufacture of wheelchairs doesn't sound as nefarious as you're making out. I would be proud if my government did the same thing.
