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.

If it's cool with everyone here, I'm just going to spend the next eight hours getting extremely mad with people on the Internet over my refusal to watch a 40 minute video essay on YouTube, or read literally anything.

Oh shit this blew up, lol. Haven't seen the video, but protectionism is necessary if you want to develop your own industry and not have it undermined by a country that has hegemonic control over said industry, so control on the internet is a good thing. Same with not allowing said hostile foreign actors to sow dissent unrestricted.
