Outside of "Chinese man gets removed from his league of legends match cause a player talked about tiananmen square" memes, what do you know about Chinese censorship?

I know that they don't like people asking for a free Tibet and independence for Hong Kong. Are there any good mainstream Chinese media articles that talk about these subjects?

When was the last demonstration made against central leadership? Or everyone just loves it there? Why do they have a firewall that blocks youtube?

I'm gonna answer that last one cause it's the only one I know lol.

So you know how we are banning tiktok because we are afraid of China influencing America? So fun fact, America does that. We are like, cultural colonists. We have created a sort of global super culture that has gotten into every countries lives.

And we have 100% used that as a sort of "in" with locals in countries we were not friends and then we would use that influence to radicalize the right wing ideologies in the country and cause destabilization and, all things going well, revolutions. See: all of south America and the Middle East (hi Afghanistan).

So with all that in mind. With the world's greatest super power systematically using its cultural influence as a soft power start with encouraging revolutions in your country for its own geo political gain. All that in mind. It's kinda the most obvious move in the world. The US is doing it right now because they "perceived" it happening to us. If China became a big cultural export to the world you'd bet your ass that we would great firewall ourselves off. We just don't have to. Because we are big dog. Woof woof. And China don't have a large amount of cultural export.

Sidenote. A Chinese company, tencent was making investments into videogames. They own riot who make league of legends and they have been getting their finger into a lot of studios for that sweet gamer money. The US gov said this game investment company is "apart of the Chinese military" lol.
