Honestly is it any less "baked in" than the pre-eminent Western powers? Can't the US govt achieve similar levels of censorship by serving NSLs and shutting a piece of information down? They perhaps may not need do it as rigorously as China because the real power lies in private mega-corps. As long as they survive, any old President will do, as long as he's not a loose canon like the last one.
I still can't think of a single world nation that puts real power in the hands of the people. There are always power structures and their protection even from the very people they ostensibly serve. I wonder in what way is China more evil than the major Western nations?
