Idk, but Chinese goverment is actively trying to censor people using gfw.
I don't hate China, but Chinese government is crazy.
Every government censors, China focuses on limiting the speech of capitalists.
Okay, but they also try to censor everything related to 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre. How do you explain this?
They don't, though. In China, they call it the "June 4th incident," and acknowledge that hundreds died around Beijing that day in conflicts between rioters firebombing the PLA and the PLA's response. What the CPC censors is the now disproven western reporting of thousands dying, and the idea of the square itself having a massacre. Even Wikipedia backs that the square was dispersed bloodlessly. This gets twisted by western media into "censoring the massacre," when in reality it's censoring western misinformation meant to delegitimize China's government.
Huh, that completely changed my view on this. I'll research a bit more myself. Tysm!
No problem! If you want a place to start for a Chinese perspective, I recommend this resource list.
It's always nice seeing peoples willing to hear out a different perspective on those controversial issues instead of instantly clutching their pearls and not listening. We don't see it often but it's always a pleasure when it happen. All power to you friend

In fact, there was even a whole TV program on the incident broadcast in China https://web.archive.org/web/20200604205421/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDMXV1smwR0
