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.

Lots of politics but you won't get pulled for calling Donnie a moron, nor for calling Joe a demented crank. Try seriously criticizing the CCP on Weibo.

"Serious critism"

The US government banned tiktok for the explicit purpose of censoring information about the holocaust they're committing in Gaza

Calling someone a moron is not seriously criticizing them. It's impotent shouting, which is why it's tolerated.

And if we're going to get into the finer points of what domestic criticism is or isn't tolerated in China, we'll need some evidence.

OH YEAH BUT CAN YOU HAVE AN PUBLIC, CACHED ON MULTIPLE PUBLIC SERVERS, EXTREMELY ANTI-SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL OVER REACTION AGAINST A POLITICIAN ON CHINESE INTERNET???????

I have freely made history today by posting slurs into the public record. The SEE SEE PEE will never give its citizens the ability to do this.

mfs will post this calling it "freedom" or "political participation" or "democracy".
