  • Cope. I guess you had a different experience when you were there. I got asked about NATO, Russia/Ukraine, Iran/Israel, US Tariffs and saw it analyzed in CCTV also when revisiting earlier this year. CGTNs quality of analysis is way higher and objective than other (state) media.

    What are topics that didn’t make it past the censors in your opinion?

    I’m not questioning that censorship is happening, it’s just happening differently than in western societies. Classifying it as “way worse” is just your subjective experience


  • Being subject of western imperialism tends to do that. The US uses various think thanks and it’s media landscape to produce narratives with the intend to destabilize the countries like e.g. China. Also any state goes into censorship when it’s hegemony is threatened. Also chinese people on average seem way more informed about current events than the average European or American

    But the information is there if you search for it.

    Goes for China too if you use a VPN

    The fact that you’re typing the words “genocide in Palestine” and I am reading those words pretty clearly

    I guess you never heard of shadow banning before. That never happens in the west right?

    Communists and leftists are not censored

    As a lib it definitely seems that way. There may be even too much amirte?

    Removing tic tok is not censorship lmfao.

    Id argue trying to remove a main stream platform with a flatter algorithm that allows for counter hegemonic content to go viral is a form of censorship, but in that case China blocking Western social Media isn’t either

    If it was only banning the platforms, I would agree.

    I like how you skipped the censoring of TASS/RT

    If you’re implying that there is no substantial amount of censorship in the west you’re kidding yourself. e.g. RT/TASS, Genocide in Palestine, Leftists/Communist thought, Removing TikTok is in the talks, etc. come to mind. Not like only one side is locking off their internet.

    Also, not wanting western Nazi (social) media platforms is just self defense.

    the censorship is so deep and so good that the vast majority of the Chinese never find out how extensive it is, because it’s not just your WeChat, it’s ALL MEDIA.

    Have you considered it’s actually the other way around?

    The problem is the censorship is so deep and so good that the vast majority of westerners never find out how extensive it is, because it’s not just your nazi.world, it’s ALL MEDIA.
