It’s very first-world of you that access to garbage like Reddit or Twitter is apparently more important than the single greatest reduction of poverty in human history—and even more typical that you are either ignorant of or deliberately ignoring the hundred years of precedent that says China is utterly correct in believing the West would abuse the lowering of the Great Firewall to try and foment reactionary revolt.
If anything, access to Wikipedia and Youtube and Stackoverflow and the like almost certainly make economic growth easier, as your citizenry can access the sum total of global knowledge at their fingertips without a firewall in their way.

They’re pointing out how weird the focus on internet access is. It’s a child’s view of the world.

Yes you’re the one who thinks it’s more important than the single greatest reduction of poverty in human history, remember? Did you forget the thread?

Because, again, it’s a weird focus. You don know why the internet is as it is there don’t you? At least they have a reason, not so much the west.
