In a neo-feudal and neo-empire (with a neo-emperor) state, it's "normal" the social medias to be highly influenced by the "ideas" of the neo-emperor (Xi). Nothing to be surprised of. It's even a miracle that there are some social medias in there because soon it may become (and it is already becoming) to be like in North Korea (the 100% neo-monarchy or just a monarchy with their Kim dynasty).
The Western medias aren't a paradise but you're (sort of) freer there. They have got different
echo chambers (or as some people call them "
information balloons"), in Chinese -- "
回声室效应" and this isn't good too (a fresh example are all those Black pill communities, where nothing else is accepted and everything is "It's over!" and "Incel once = incel forever", "100% genetics", etc.)
And now, when in China (due to the poor management and the abnormal thinking of the absolutist Xi) more and more people are getting poorer, jobless, less informed and so on, how long do you think there will be these high standards and expectations like the mentioned in your first post "Harvard", " $ 10000000", etc.? You may think about it.
