Chinese citizen would be living under

Correction: Chinese citizens already living under a surveillance state. UK and now US and also many other countries is merely learning from the best(worst). Mandatory age verification for socmed and game? China already have that years ago. ISP level blocking? Great Firewall of China is there from the beginning.

End to end encryption chats are banned in China btw. China is living in this complete dystopia already and the only reason we don't hear it because China is very good at hiding this. The great firewall is as much to contain Chinese inside as it is to repel others.

The US was spying on all backbone data 20 years ago. The US has no need to block websites because it has a big enough propaganda network to control the narrative on those websites, and there is less incentive to propping up the US tech industry by blocking competition like there is with the Chinese tech industry.
