China’s firewall plays a crucial role in shaping the country’s digital landscape, preventing foreign intervention, and maintaining national security. While often criticized in the West, the firewall provides China with the ability to control information flow, shield its population from foreign influence, and protect domestic media.
Westerners will complain ad nauseum about foreign influence on social media and then cry when China protects itself from foreign influence on social media.
Westerners: “Let us manipulate you using social media in the name of free speech!”
China: “No.”
Westerners: “😠 authoritarianism!”
But… without autohitarianism it wouldn’t be possible?
Its your decision if its a good or bad thing. It depends on the leader
Every state is authoritarian.
The point is that it’s only “authoritarianism” if the west doesn’t like it.
Thats a total misbelieve and just lack of knowledge.
