Crazy that the proposed solution to propaganda is banning media instead of investing in education that promotes critical thinking. Or maybe the idea here is "no propaganda except mine".
And yet China is banning basically the whole Western internet, foreign companies must enter joint ventures with Chinese companies under government control. Reciprocity is fair. Why should Byte Dance be allowed to take in billions to fund Chinese gulags?
As someone who's neither chinese nor american I want nothing more than these countries to keep their hands to themselves. I don't like China doing it, and I don't want the US doing it because China does it. Are y'all gonna hand a piece of your companies to every country they operate in? I'm guessing "no".
