Not just China's. But as western nations (Germany re: tor, Aus/NZ re: censorship) rush to implement their own orwellian state they tread China's well worn path.
Agreed. From their actions in the last couple of days it would appear these governments can hardly take the moral high ground.
I'm sure I'll get downvoted for discounting China's concentration camps and social credit programs but it would seem we aren't exactly the bastion of freedom we like to portray.
They never could, particularly not Germany or the UK.
But the US also isn't as innocent as many love to pretend when talking about "state censorship", not even acknowledging how the US doesn't need to "state censor" but merely applies soft-pressure to US companies to do the censoring for them [0].
There is a possible political drive behind recent mass media coverage on Xinjiang surveillance. It will not surprise me if the US announces sanctions on Chinese AI firms in a couple of months.
