    I think you’re being sincere but it’s funny how you format it as “I do support communism but . . .” since that’s sort of the meme. Anyway, I think a couple of other people here are doing just fine but if not, you can let me know and I’ll give explaining it a shot.

    Edit: I will say of the Great Firewall that its main purpose isn’t censorship but minimizing the market share taken up by foreign websites like Facebook, Twitter, Google, and so on. Such a thing would represent a serious national security concern, both because of their nature as western corporations wanting to undermine other domestic business and also because they work with western intelligence, along with China just being able to get more money and more development of domestic talent by having its big websites be domestic.

    It’s easy to access the outside internet, just use a VPN. The state doesn’t care about your personal internet use unless you’re doing something more overtly suspicious (and I mean like communicating with foreign powers, not posting on Instagram like a normal person).

      I agree 100% on the Great Firewall, it’s mostly just an anti-infiltration thing, most people in China have ways around it and don’t get punished
