can barely mention Winnie the Pooh inside China or they’ll go to a “reeducation camp”

LMAO.

look at 996.

Been illegal nearly half a decade and was only a thing in around 40 of the large tech firms around the 2019 tech boom before being ruled illegall by the supreme people's court in 2021.

Straight up lies you should see any miniso in any city lmao

repress violently every single protest or criticism to the Party-State,

Not true also we have party offices in every town and city as well as direct lines to them through the 12345 hotline specifically for voicing criticism.

not to mention the Great China’s Firewall.

The firewall was created to foster and protect China’s fledgling digital infrastructure and data sovereignty. Many countries regulate foreign platforms and data flows. China built its own ecosystem instead of depending on foreign companies. We have seen what happens when foreign platforms operate without local oversight: Facebook facilitating genocide in Myanmar, coordinated anti-vax disinformation campaigns in Southeast Asia, algorithm-driven radicalization. The firewall makes those kinds of external influence operations harder or close to impossible to run at scale. I support it and so do many others as the alternative is plain to see. Also everyone has a VPN we’re not living in ignorance it is in fact people like yourself who are massively ignorant about us and our country.

I wish you people would educate yourselves before talking idiotic nonsense it gets tiring having to repeat the same things over and over.

This is what we tend to mean by sinophobia. There's a difference between knowledgeable and nuanced critique of the CPC and PRC in general, and repeating the most bog-standard confidently incorrect bullshit you can find. This utter chauvanism is spoken the same way European colonizers spoke about Africans back in the height of colonialism, and still today in some cases.

Or if not, look at 996

Illegal, limited largely to the 40 companies in Beijing and Shanghai. The average working hours in China is 46 per week.

the mere fact that anyone can barely mention Winnie the Pooh inside China or they’ll go to a “reeducation camp"

Also bullshit, Winnie the Pooh is legal and fairly popular.

the fact that they repress violently every single protest or criticism to the Party-State

Again, bullshit. Criticism is popular and constructive in China, and protests do happen infrequently. Most people support the government though so it doesn't come to that.

or the fact that they have the biggest data fusion and surveillance network of the world

Incorrect, Five Eyes countries do. This is projection from the west.

just to control what can be said, thought, looked at, searched or done

Incorrect, brainwashing does not exist.

not to mention the Great China’s Firewall.

Which is done to help develop a Chinese sovereign internet free of foreign influence, such as from western tech giants.

or is it that for you, all that independently-checked and blindly peer-reviewed facts are just a “USA propaganda”.

None of what you said is peer-reviewed.

These are just two different models of authoritarism.

There are four different models presented. Thank you for putting this first so I know not to waste my time reading the rest.

About "submission to authority", it talks by itself: you have to think what the president or leader thinks, to want what they wat and to hate what they hate, and if you dissent even just a bare minimum, you'll be paid with physical, mental and social violence.
