I'd say China doesn't have particularly tight_er_ information control than other places, they're using the same tools everyone else is using (keyword/hashtag bans, algorithmic content demotion, "shadowbans" of responses, and outright content removal etc.)...
It's mainly just that there's more politically motivated manipulation... versus in the west where those tools would be used on things like copyright infringement, pornography, and misinformation etc.
