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.

if you're from new zealand you should beg for a policy like this so new zealand could develop its own privately owned social media, instead of relying on American tech oligarchs. it makes absolutely no sense for someone outside of the US, which has its social media market completely dominated by US tech companies, to complain about this.
