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.

There is no such thing as a "free and neutral net". It would be nice if there were but sadly that's just a fairly tale for children. Someone is always in control.

Yes obviously. If not governments, then Google, Meta, etc. are controlling the narrative. Doesn't mean we should give up and just let them. China is no less evil than the US, or the big corporations that control us all. Don't give up and give in to any of them. Resist until the day you die.
