It'll be amazing to see the great firewall be brought down and have the internet be flooded with Chinese accounts countering the barrage of western propaganda, only for America to respond with putting up their own great firewall because of "foreign interference."
the firewall makes it so that the average Chinese person doesn't experience the stress and the associated timesink of having to debate with a peabrained white supremacist about literally every single basic fact ever
I honestly think this is the main reason for the firewall. It's just ignoring the idiots, except the Chinese government goes one step further by preventing you from knowing that the idiots even exist in the first place, so that your time is spent more constructively
It also helps them develop their own sovereign Internet ecosystem. They have their own search engines, e-mail providers, social networks, video sites, that can develop at their own pace without being trampled by giants from Silicon Valley and being subject to their algorithms like in the rest of the world.
Believing China doesn't have a capitalist-driven Shenzhen and doesn't have a robust, sophisticated set of their own algorithms to contain and deliver social media is bewildering to me.
If the 100 million CPC members number is accurate, then I don't think they'd have a hard time just destroying ever self-professed white supremacist (or nationalist or whatever). Not to mention what the billion+ other Chinese will do.
Can you please put that in writing so I can show the white hiring manager next time I go job hunting? Keen to experience some of that majority privilege!

Well the person you were replying to doesn’t believe that, the fact that they have their own and don’t have to defer to Google was in fact the point.
