A friend of mine tried, no signal.
If war breaks out, it'll likely be enabled.
Starlink are very low orbit. Easy to bring down.

The green card isn't citizenship, you lose it if you don't live in the US. It's not like they don't know when you enter or exit the country.
6 months is a very long time.
There is no magic amount of time.
If you get a green card and leave the us for any amount of time, on return the border agent makes a determination on the spot if you intended to live abroad.
Less than six months is simply less suspicious than more.

No it won't but if it did would take just few hours for china to shoot a bunch of them down and with how tightly packed their orbits are the debree would take care of the rest.

That's what's so great about LoRA. Decentralized txt msgs, ultra cheap radios people run at home or wherever. $10-35USD ON AMAZON. Least txts get through.
Can you recommend a guide? I’m interested in trying it out.
Look up Meshtastic. It’s kinda fun. Can chat with random people around you. But I don’t think it’s really that useful unless you have a really good spot like an antenna on your roof with no trees or buildings in the way.

How common can this really be? And what kind of companies? I’m finding it really hard to imagine this to be widespread.
Yeah if I'd sneak off to work from another place I'd pick somewhere really nice. Not China.
China spans 9.6M km. It has some of the biggest and most modern megacities (Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Shenzhen to name a few) and features ancient historical wonders like the Great Wall, Forbidden City and Terracotta Warriors.
The nature spans salt lakes and rainbow mountains akin to South America, to the Northern Lights in Mohe down to karst formations of Guilin shared with Vietnam's Halong Bay.
The cuisine is diverse and dishes popular in places like Xi'an reveal lasting influences dating back to the Silk Road.
If you can't find "somewhere really nice" amongst the myriad people and locations you haven't tried.
