We're talking about a people who live in an entirely censored world, who almost never get to see other views and perspectives, and who live almost entirely on a diet of state-fed propaganda.
The Chinese government blocks website content and monitors individuals' internet access.
As required by the Chinese government, major internet platforms and messaging services in China established elaborate self-censorship mechanisms. Some have hired teams of thousands to police content and invested in powerful AI algorithms.
Many controversial events are prohibited from news coverage, preventing many Chinese citizens from knowing of their government's actions. Such measures inspired the policy's nickname, "The Great Firewall of China."
The amount of people (especially younger ones) that use a VPN and have access to Internet outside of the "GFW" is much, much larger than you'd imagine.
It works the other way around too, probably even more so. Westerners rarely ever get to see the perspectives of the average Chinese people.
Cultural difference is a real thing. Not sure how people in every country should be expected to react to things in the same way.
