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.

      You haven’t ‘vetted’ anything, obviously it’s a pro-China piece from the title alone.

      It’s infantile to ignore a piece because you’ve already made up your mind, based on your own ‘reputable’ western propaganda bubble. You’re allowed to read things you think you’ll disagree with, learn to actually think critically on your own.

          It’s not a “source”

          It’s a YouTube video. An opinion. You determine whether that opinion is trustworthy or not by watching the video and seeing if the conclussions he puts forward make sense to you.

          Or you can just ignore it and say it isn’t true because it’s not pre approved by the Cia.

              You simply think that you cannot be persuaded to believe something that is not true; that you would see through it if that were the case.

              Uno reverse, you walking projector

              You’re wrong and you should learn to accept this.

              Also projection. You’re so up your own ass you’ve become an small and dense enough object to tear through the fabric of space and become a blackhole of being an ignorant little shit

              Protect yourself, don’t allow garbage in.

              Your entire worldview is that of a self-contained circulating system of raw sewage. There’s literally zero reason to take anything you say with anything but negative credibility and seriousness.

              A closed mind is the greatest defense

              Of course I could be persuaded to believe in things that aren’t true

              I used to believe the United States was a good country deeper-sadness

              Then why don’t we see you in the comment sections of the posts for articles about the new york times applying the exact same methodology you’ve been applying here?

              If anything everyone should take what you, a one month old account, that sprang out of nowhere, with a whole mountain of salt grains for any assertion you’ve put out.

          Again, it’s an opinion piece. They’re giving an opinion, which you could possibly reasonably disagree with if you’d actually watched it.

          I don’t care if you trust it, just think critically about the issue.
