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
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.
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.
You are talking to a Chinese person in China and trying to "set them straight on the facts" when they live there and you just consume youtube
Lmao the firewall isn't a surveillance tool it's a blacklist for ips/domains you massive fucking idiot. Also VPNs are legal to use and literally everyone has one. All the firewall does is shut companies out of the Chinese market it has effectively 0 effect on us outside of needing a vpn the odd time you want to use a blocked site.
This is the least nuanced take available and is just rhetorical cover for "status quo good"
Do you have any proof because I certainly don't work anything more than 50 hours a week even during busy season, none of my friends do either, and the data says the average is around 46.
No I like my govenrment just like 95% of my compatriots do according to Harvard. They have done so much for my village and Chinese people as a whole it's honestly not surprising.
Yeah? You being a reactionary shithead is Chinas fault?
Infantile nonsense. Are you sure you're not 12?
Both are shit but one of them I need to invent a new reality to make it look really bad. Every single fuck thing you describe is a exageration or do not exist. Give me where someone got to a re-education camp for mentioning winnie the pooh, are you this illiterate to believe that a government would waste resources to persecute people for this shit? Even the shithole fascist country of USA didn't do shit with all shit with Trump/JD Vance, the worst thing that happend was a tourist allegedly revoke entry because of found memes in their phone.
