China’s firewall plays a crucial role in shaping the country’s digital landscape, preventing foreign intervention, and maintaining national security. While often criticized in the West, the firewall provides China with the ability to control information flow, shield its population from foreign influence, and protect domestic media.

Shhhhh. Shhhhhhhhhhh. Its ok now, you’re inside now, you don’t need to fear the outside any more, little baby.

      It might not require a lot of effort to paste it but it definitely took a lot of effort to assemble, clearly far more effort than you’ve put into thinking about it

      Is it low-effort? It sure looks high-effort to me. There are a ton of sources (some of them I hadn’t read before), it’s written really well, and organized quite nicely. Sure, it’s clearly copy-pasted, RedWizard didn’t write it fresh for this post, but like, so? If it’s good info written and sourced well, why not post it every time the question comes up? Someone new will see it every time, and they might dig into the sources and become more knowledgeable because of how well-organized and well-sourced this copy-pasted super informational post is.

      What would you have had RedWizard post instead? A less well-organized piece that he wrote specifically for this comment thread? Something off-the-cuff and not so informative? Or maybe you wanted him to just post nothing. Perhaps you just expected everyone here to simply agree with you about the situation in Xinjiang, without doing any research of our own. Is that it? You wanted to come in here and parrot something you’ve heard other people say, not expecting any pushback. But then you got presented with contradictory evidence, so you called it low-effort to allow yourself to ignore it?

      You can’t be fucking serious.

      So not only doyou refuse to even engage with anything that doesn’t come from your pre approved list of sources when somebody takes rhe time to actually compile a bunch of sources and wrote up a summary for you that also isn’t acceptable.

      It’s almost like you are completely fucking brainwashed to immediatly reject literally any sort of information that doesn’t match up with your personal opinion which just so happens to exactly match the opinion of the state department.

      Americans truly are the most willfully ignorant propogandized people in the world.
