Thank you for the explanation!
Does it also keep information from China getting to other places? Or is that more of the corpos and other countries keeping China's news and what not out of Western spaces? I find it very hard to find things out of rare cases like when I was on Red Note for a bit. I wasn't sure if the firewall had anything to do with that or if its more western influences, or a bit of both?
No the firewall is one-way generally speaking. The fact foreign news agencys need a license to report in China probably doesn't help but it is almost entirely down to the fact that corpos and the countries they own don't actually want to report factual information about China and much prefer NED funded NGOs and but at what cost speculation about whatever China announces.
Ah okay. Thank you so much for the information! I really appreciate it!
