WeChat uses one censorship policy in China and another internationally
I lived in China for 3 years and speak pretty decent Mandarin. I&#x27;m really grateful people are doing analyses like this, but, and I am very sad to say this, I think it may not matter because very few people want to discuss anything subversive anyway.<p>Recently I tried to engage with my oldest Chinese friend about the Sesame Credit system that I think will gradually be adapted to compel more and more obedience. It was like water off a duck&#x27;s back. As far as she was concerned, the government&#x27;s description was the end of the story.<p>Anecdote, of course, but I can&#x27;t do a real survey. My feeling is that I could try all day (speaking very frankly on WeChat) to get Chinese friends to at least understand my concerns and I&#x27;d just get blown off 20 different ways. I hope I&#x27;m wrong, that it&#x27;s just my limited experience that makes the situation seem gloomier than it really is.
