Imo what China does with their internet has nothing to do with censoring any information or speach; it's not even any good at that anyway, VPNs are easy and available.
It's all about excluding foreign tech companies from their market so that homegrown tech and grow and develop.

Ok which i guess now that I think about it if we're using the capitalist definition of freedom, which is just freedom for capital to do whatever it wants, then yeah China's internet isn't very free lmao

Without Facebook dominating social media market share in China, how will the Chinese get valuable informational headers about what is and is not fake news?
This is clearly an attack on western liberal values.
