No, I have to say that you are wrong. That guy is right. I am a 21 Chinese college student.
Yes, the populsation especially the older generation grown largely because the mobile internet raised in China in the past years. But in the other hand, they are bound to those local Super Apps(Like WeChat, Taobao, Alipay, Weibo....) First, they donâ(TM)t even know thereâ(TM)re a great and expensive Internet space beyond those apps. Second, the Great Firewall is not admitted by government and itâ(TM)s really hard to know even to cross the wall ( just recently, the gov arrested a lot of people who sell this services ) Finally, the censorship is in every social media registered in China, the political content(if not praise the party) will be deleted and the account will be blocked.
Trust me, it will be worst then before( after the Culture Revolution)
Btw, I donâ(TM)t expand the branch about surveillance. I would recommend an article written by Wired https://www.wired.com/story/ag...\_032118\_backchannel\_list1\_p1
