I wonder sometimes if Western info-warfare strategy is shifting to "flooding the zone", producing such an avalanche of dubious quality media on China that no accurate picture of successes can be easily accessed by the Western lay audiences
A Western "great firewall" may take on a quite different form to what we have seen in China in the last few decades for example, given the aesthetic concessions required to maintain illusions of liberalism in the popular consciousness
I expect some mixture of legalism, as we observe regarding proscribed organisations in the UK, and systematic covert as well as overt online misinformation
