There are a lot of elements of the firewall that are something Europe should consider emulating, because it’s also keeping US slop out of the country and protecting domestic industry and stopping US meddling through electronic warfare. It allows for China to develop its own internal economy rather than be hollowed out and made dependent on Silicon Valley. It’s tech sovereignty.
Imagine if Europe replaced Facebook, Instagram, Xitter, and Youtube with its own internally developed and regulated platforms. No more tech dependency! China made the right choice and it’s becoming more clear as enshitification ruins the internet.
The Firewall is for domestic inrernet and infrastructure development. VPNs aren’t punished, and the Firewall doesn’t stop you from saying what you want, it just prevents foreign spyware like Facebook from becoming popular in China. There isn’t actually meaningful bias in the surveys, the fact that foreign spyware isn’t allowed doesn’t mean Chinese citizens don’t know about freedom or anything.
Secondly, the idea that “I don’t want to work the 996 work week” is censored is laughable. People in China are allowed to complain about working conditions, that’s part of how they’ve been able to rapidly improve them year over year for decades.
Oh good, you’re at the point of outright lying: your source doesn’t contain your claim, so I can only conclude you’re just deliberately being dishonest to waste people’s time or in the hope they wouldn’t check.
Western sinophobes continue to demonstrate that they start with their conclusions and then that whatever bad faith tricks are needed to try to justify them.

Let’s see your evidence of that
