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.

People when talking about EU banning US social media and fostering domestically-based networks: hell yeah 😎😎😎

When China does it: evil commies! Brainwashed! Chinese people are too stupid to see they're being manipulated!

Oh shit this blew up, lol. Haven't seen the video, but protectionism is necessary if you want to develop your own industry and not have it undermined by a country that has hegemonic control over said industry, so control on the internet is a good thing. Same with not allowing said hostile foreign actors to sow dissent unrestricted.
